What you can expect from this 8 Day
Kenya Impala Safari:
The spectacular
Rift Valley, with the wide-open plains
of east Africa is stretched before you.
On this stunning safari we take in some
of the very
best of Kenya's Big Five game viewing
National Parks
and its tribal people and scenery.
Day 1: Nairobi – Mount Kenya
On the first day of the
Kenya Highlights tour,
all clients should meet for a pre
departure meeting at 08h30. This meeting
will give you all a chance to meet your
fellow travelers and get to know your
guides.
You head out of the city and travel
north to your campsite at the foot of Mt
Kenya (5199m), the second highest
mountain in Africa. You have the
afternoon free to enjoy an optional walk
in the forest around the base of Mt
Kenya, known for its prolific bird life
and
black and white Colobus monkeys.
Camping (Mountain Rock Bantu Lodge or
similar). Lunch and Dinner.
Days 2 - 3: Samburu National Reserve
Samburu National Reserve is situated on
the banks of the Uaaso Nyiro River in
Kenya. This means plenty of water, trees
and shade to
attract wildlife like Elephant,
Lion, Giraffe and Zebra from the
surrounding savannah plains. Leopards
are also regularly spotted. The Uaaso
Nyiro River's magnificent displays are
the long and huge Crocodiles, which
exceed 6 metres (20 feet) from snout to
tail.
You will
enjoy a game drive en route
to your campsite and on day 3 you will
depart on a morning game drive and
return to camp for lunch. In the
afternoon when the temperature cools
off you head out for an afternoon game
drive returning in time to prepare
dinner. Accommodation for the night will
be camping. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
Day 4: Thompson's Falls
On day 4 of your Kenya safari you will
travel to Thompson's Falls and arrive at
approximately lunch time – you have the
afternoon free to explore the waterfalls
which during the rainy season is
particularly spectacular. The height of
the
falls is 75 metres high. Camping
in Thomson Falls Lodge. Breakfast, Lunch
and Dinner.
Day 5: Lake Nakuru
On day 5 of your Kenya safari tour
you depart for your campsite, on the
Kenana Farm. Visit
the Kenana Knitters,
a local community development project,
or the local school. You will visit Lake
Nakuru National Park, which is famous
for the presence of up to 2 million
Flamingoes, seasonally feeding on the
abundant algae.
The park is also well known for its
Leopard and, as it is a Rhino sanctuary,
sightings of Black and White Rhino
are common, as well as Lion and Buffalo.
You enjoy an included game drive into
the Park on this Kenya vacation. Camping
(Kembu Campsite or similar). Breakfast,
Lunch and Dinner.
Days 6 - 7: Masai Mara National Reserve
The famous Masai Mara Game Reserve is
known for its density of animals
including the 'Big Five' and 453
species of birds. It is one of
the most visited reserves in Africa.
This National Reserve's plains are
predominantly open savannah,
interspersed with patches of acacia
woodland, and along the Mara River,
riparian forest.
Whilst game viewing is excellent in the
Mara all year round, the most popular
time to visit is in late July into
August where, over one million
Wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of
Zebra migrate from the Serengeti.
The dramatic river crossings are a
gruesome spectacle of survival of the
fittest.
You will set up camp here for two nights
and enjoy early starts, for your game
drives, returning to camp for a late
breakfast or brunch. Time to reflect and
relax for the hotter part of the day and
then out for another game drive in the
afternoon.
You will enjoy the last night of your
Kenya vacation with a
dinner around the campfire,
listening to the sounds of the open
bush. Camping will be outside Sekenani
Gate or similar. Breakfast, Lunch and
