National Reserves. After lunch and an afternoon at leisure, take an evening

Zebra, Gerenuk and Oryx.

Depart from
camp early in the morning, with a picnic lunch, for a 5-hour drive through
dramatic semi-desert countryside, arriving at Sabuk, on the banks of the
Ewaso Nyiro River. Relax, maybe swim in the river or just enjoy the uninterrupted
view across the Laikipia plains. Enjoy an early evening bush sundowner
or a short walk from camp, watching the sun set behind the hills. The
elusive Greater Kudu and large Elephant herds can be seen on the walks.

in the cool early morning for a walk or ride with camels. Led by a professional
safari guide and his team of trained Masai trekkers, the walk takes you
across the hills with glimpses of the Ewaso Nyiro river. Brunch is under
the acacia trees. Take an afternoon swim in a natural rock pool. Return
to Sabuk Lodge for campfire sundowners and dinner.

The day
will be spent walking with and / or riding a camel assisted safari. Your
guide and professional crew of Samburu warriors will accompany you and

Ewaso Nyiro River. The trek is easy and great for inquisitive family groups
wishing to learn more about bushcraft and its natural inhabitants at close
quarters.

back to the Sabuk lodge just after sunrise and a hearty bush breakfast
we then depart and drive down the escarpments and across to the Rift Valley,
arriving at Lion Hill in time for lunch. World famous for its millions
of shimmering pink flamingoes; Lake Nakuru is an ornithologists’
mecca. Flotillas of Pelicans swimming by, hundreds of storks, herons and
egrets add to this natural menagerie of colour. The park is also one of
the few reserves left where one can see both Black & White Rhinos
in the wild. Together with lurking Lions, Giraffes and Leopards, Lake
Nakuru provides excellent game viewing amongst the yellow–barked
acacia forests.

early start from Lion Hill, we drive slowly up the other side of the Rift

of Kericho. We make a gentle descent down to the Masai Mara, arriving
