Day 02 – SAMBURU INTREPIDS
0700 hrs after breakfast you will be transferred to Wilson Airport for your scheduled flight to Samburu in Kenya’s rugged Northern Frontier District. On arrival transfer to your luxury accommodations. Samburu Intrepids is renowned as a pioneer of luxury camping in one of the world’s last truly great wilderness areas. Situated on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River in the arid heart of Samburu National Reserve, Samburu Intrepids looks out over riverbanks where herds of elephant, buffalo and zebra come daily to drink — together with the rarer ‘northern species’ of reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx and long-necked gerenuk antelope. Samburu Intrepids will show you this dramatic wilderness from a world of fascinating erspectives:
through stirring early morning game drives, walking safaris with skilled Samburu guides to sedate camel rides. Samburu Game Reserve is unique. The vegetation comprises predominantly acacia woodland interspersed with bush,grass and scrubland, which is broken here and there by small rugged hills whilst the meandering loops of the river are bordered by a narrow gallery of riverine woodland in which acacia and doum palm flourish. This is a dry country ecosystem and is, therefore, prone to large variations in the animal
populations as they move in search of water and pasture.

Day 03 – SAMBURU INTREPIDS
Three full days spent exploring Samburu. The only permanent source of water is The Uaso Nyiro River which provides excellent game viewing opportunities including elephant, buffalo, lion and leopard and of course the plains’ game.After lunch at the camp, and perhaps a swim in the pool, it’s time for a further
game drive. Samburu National Reserve lies on the fringes of the vast and arid desert once known as the Northern Frontier District, whose heat-scorched scrublands extend all the way to the jade-green waters
of Lake Turkana and beyond. Physically dramatic, the 104 sq kilometre landscape of the Reserve features rocky battlements,craggy scarps, dry river beds and fallen boulders rising out of the thorn scrub
against a backdrop of the far-distant hills and the great red table mountain known as Lololokwi

The Mara’s tree flecked grasslands are frequented by huge herds of plains game,black mane lion, leopard, cheetah, large numbers of elephant, and a wide variety of other birds and animals.

wilderness. It offers the best game and bird-viewing not only in Kenya, but anywhere in Africa. The views across the rolling golden grasslands studded with acacia trees, rivers and forests are dazzling, the sense of space overwhelming.Throughout the year the Masai Mara is a place of natural drama, a kaleidoscope of colour and life.
