Samburu, Ol Pejeta, lake Nakuru and Masai Mara
An 8-day safari encompassing Samburu National Park, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara offers an unforgettable journey through some of Kenya’s most iconic and diverse landscapes. Beginning in Samburu National Park, located in the arid north, you’ll encounter unique wildlife species such as the reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, and Somali ostrich, which thrive in this rugged environment. The Ewaso Ng’iro River adds a lush contrast to the dry terrain, attracting elephants, lions, and leopards. Next, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a haven for rhino conservation, provides a chance to see both black and white rhinos, as well as the last two remaining northern white rhinos in the world. This conservancy also offers a unique opportunity to visit a chimpanzee sanctuary and learn about wildlife conservation efforts. Lake Nakuru, a birdwatcher’s paradise, is famous for its flamingo-lined shores and abundant wildlife, including rhinos, lions, and leopards. The alkaline lake and surrounding forests create a picturesque setting for game drives. Finally, the Masai Mara, Kenya’s crown jewel, offers unparalleled wildlife viewing, particularly during the Great Migration, when millions of wildebeest and zebras traverse the plains. The Mara is also home to the Big Five and offers cultural interactions with the Maasai people, adding a rich cultural dimension to your safari. This 8-day adventure promises a blend of breathtaking landscapes, diverse wildlife, and immersive cultural experiences, making it a quintessential Kenyan safari.
