Tour Plan
Our Adventures salesperson and their guide will meet and greet you at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi when you arrive. Depending on your arrival time, you will either be taken to a city hotel (accommodation at an additional expense) or start your safari. After a six-hour drive, depart for Samburu National Reserve and reach there in the late morning. Check in at the Sarova Shaba Game Lodge after eating lunch. The camp is located to three National Reserves and has exclusive access to a number of cultural activities that are usually off-limits to the general public. Some of the activities on offer at Mount O'lolokwe include hiking, bird viewing, and overnight camping.
Tours of the rhino sanctuary, game drives to the three surrounding national parks, tracking lions with warriors for study and conservation monitoring, and much more.
In the Samburu National Reserve, you will have a nighttime wildlife drive. A meal and a night's accommodation.
After a delectable breakfast, travel to Buffalo Springs to go game viewing. The Buffalo Springs National Reserve is situated on the Ewaso Nyiro River's southern bank. It is renowned for the variety of animals it is home to and has surprisingly few safari tourists, making it a nice place to go on a game drive in this amazing reserve. It offers guests amazing photo possibilities, making it an off-the-beaten-path stop on a Kenyan safari. Notably, Samburu National Reserve to the north and Shaba National Reserve to the northeast are both parts of a wider ecosystem that includes Buffalo Springs.
Around midday, you'll return to the camp, eat lunch, and then unwind in the afternoon. The Samburu warriors will take you on a nature stroll in the evening. Indulge in dinner and spend the night at Sarova Shaba Game Lodge.
Have breakfast in the morning and then go to the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary for a full-day safari. In order to reintroduce abandoned and orphaned elephant calves into the surrounding natural herds, the Sanctuary takes them in. This is a product of a well-known and increasing grassroots initiative in Northern Kenya known as community-driven conservation, which is creating new enterprises, reshaping lives, and protecting natural resources. Due to natural mortality, human-wildlife conflict, drought, man-made wells, and human wells, elephant calves in Northern Kenya are orphaned or abandoned. The Sanctuary was created in response to requests from the neighborhood.
After a picnic lunch at the sanctuary, you may spend the rest of the day entertaining the elephants before heading back to the resort in the evening. Indulge in dinner and spend the night at Sarova Shaba Game Lodge.
Eat breakfast in the early morning at Sarova Shaba Game Lodge. At the Shaba National Reserve, which is located 130 square kilometers to the north of the Ewaso Nyiro River and is located east of the Samburu National Park, you will go on full-day wildlife drives. Shaba is situated in Kenya's Northern Frontier Province together with the Samburu and Buffalo Springs.
While traveling to the park, Samburu are frequently seen watering camels in the river or guiding animals through thorny bushes. The Ewaso Nyiro River sustains the community. The reserve always has a lot of species because of the constant water. The Reticulated giraffe, Grévy's zebra, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, and gerenuk are the primary draws.
Lunch at the Park Reserve, Visit a Samburu village later in the day or into the evening to experience their native customs. You may purchase a memento while visiting from their extensive selection of handicrafts.
Eat breakfast early and get ready to ascend Mount Ololokwe. (Make sure the appropriate trekking and camping equipment is brought). As a table rock mountain, Mt. Ololokwe offers ideal mountain climbing terrain for all skill levels, from experienced climbers to recreational hikers and walkers. Many visitors enjoy hiking the mountain trails with warriors and picnicking or camping at the summit while exploring its diverse wildlife and cultural features. It is a sanctuary for birds as well. At the peak of the mountain, visitors may camp or have picnics while visiting prehistoric ceremonial warrior caves with prehistoric cave paintings, virgin cycad woods, and rare and traditional medicinal herbs.
For the locals, it holds great ecological and cultural value. Folklore has been written about it, for instance, the Samburu people's Mountain of God and the rock formations known as the "eye of God." Take a picnic. Lunch is served at the top of the mountain, followed by an evening bush meal cooked over a fire, and finally an overnight stay at the Sarova Shaba Game Lodge.
At Sarova Shaba Game Lodge, a delicious breakfast awaits you when you awaken early in the morning. You leave the motel and start your trek back home. We'll stop for lunch along the way, and later that afternoon, our driver-guide will drop you off at the airport or your hotel in Nairobi.
This concludes our journey.
