5 Days Samburu Lake Nakuru Aberdares
Day by day
-
Days 1–2
Samburu National Park
We leave Nairobi for your 5 Days Samburu Lake Nakuru Aberdares Safari Tour at 0900 hrs. This park is situated within the lands of the colorful Samburu people, close relatives of the Masai people.
A picnic lunch will be served on the way and we shall arrive in time for an evening game drive.
The park harbors a number of wildlife species rarely found elsewhere in any large numbers. These include the Grevy's gazelle, the reticulated giraffe and the Beisic orynx, all species only found north of the equator.
The Ewaso Nyiro river which rises some hundreds of kilometers to the west is fringed with giant acacias and offers shade and sustenance to wildlife that comes to the river. Elephants find solace and contentment from the river and can be found bathing and drinking in a spectacle of unconscious pleasure.
Dinner will be at the preferred choice of accommodation.
The second day will be spent game viewing in the park. All meals will be served at the campsite.

Day 3
Samburu to Aberdares National Park
We shall leave the park in the afternoon and drive to the Aberdares, where we will spend the night at one of the luxurious Tree Top Lodges situated in the lush forests of the Aberdares.
These Lodges overlook waterholes and salt licks that become somewhat busy as the sun sets as the animals come to quench their thirst after a long day.

Day 4
Aberdares to Lake Nakuru
We shall leave the Aberdares in the morning for an evening game drive at the Lake Nakuru National Park. This Park is often referred to as the "pink lake" as it is world famous as the location of the greatest bird spectacle on earth-the pink flamingo whose numbers are legion, often more than a million or two. The lake is also rich in other birdlife with over 400 resident species. The park has been enlarged to provide sanctuary for the black rhino which exists here in the greatest concentration in the country.
Other wild life found here include the Roth's child giraffe, the waterbuck, predators like the lion ,leopard etc.

Common questions
How long is the 5 Days Samburu Lake Nakuru Aberdares?
This itinerary runs 5 days, starting and ending in Nairobi. It is a private departure, so the dates are yours to choose and the pace can be adjusted. If you would like more or less time in Kenya Safari, we can rebuild the itinerary around that.
How many people will be in my safari vehicle?
Six at most, and that is a hard cap. Our Land Cruisers seat seven, so there is always a spare seat and every guest has a window and unobstructed access to the pop-up roof hatch. A fully private vehicle is available on any itinerary for a supplement.
When is the best time to do this Kenya Safari trip?
July to October is peak season, with the Mara River crossings and the best trekking weather, and it carries the highest rates. March to May is the long rains: green landscapes, newborn game, very few vehicles and the lowest prices of the year. January to February is dry, hot and excellent for general game viewing. There is no bad month, only months that suit different things.
How do I book, and what deposit is required?
Send an enquiry and we return a day-by-day itinerary with every cost itemised, usually within 24 hours. There is nothing to pay to get a quote. To confirm, we take a 30% deposit, with the balance due on arrival. Changes are free up to 30 days before departure and our full cancellation terms are published on the site.
