Day 1       MOUNT KENYA – SAMBURU GAME RESERVE

The 104 sq. km Samburu National Reserve in Kenya’s northern frontier districts is a harsh and savagely beautiful wilderness Offering unique vistas of rounded, rugged hills and undulating plains that all depend on the Uaso Nyiro River for their existence. The Reserve if home to a wide variety of wildlife species only found north of the equator including the Grevy’s Zebra, the long necked Gerenuk,  Beisa Oryx and reticulated Giraffe. Crocodiles, Somali Ostrich, Hippo, Lion, Hyena, Cheetah, Leopard, Elephant, Eland, Buffalo and even the elusive leopard can be seen along the river banks. The reserve also boasts an estimated more that 400 species of birds. Together with neighboring Buffalo Springs and Shaba National Reserves, Samburu comprises 833 sq km of protected semi-desert land. This is the home of the Samburu tribe, cousins of the Maasai, who share the same nomadic, cattle-herding existence, and an even stricter adherence to their age-old rites and customs.

You will arrive at Samburu Serena Lodge www.serenahotels.com in time for lunch.

Located on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River, Samburu Serena blends into its surroundings of tall trees and reflects the lifestyle of the local Samburu people through the use of native materials and decorations.  The 62 en suite bedrooms all overlook the river where, if lucky, guests may see crocodile feeding.  The airy dining area opens out to the terrace lounge overlooking the pool and the river beyond.  In the evenings guests can enjoy a traditional Samburu dance performance.
