The 13-days Kenya safari starts with a Nairobi city tour and takes you to the famous Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and Aberdares. Then you continue to Samburu National reserve famous for the survivor series film and a lion adopting an oryx calf, down to Amboseli where you will have lovely backdrop scenes of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.

DAY 2 AMBOSELI
After an early breakfast you leave for a full day’s game viewing with Mount Kilimanjaro, usually clear in the early morning, as a spectacular background for your photographs. Stop for picnic lunch at Look Out Hill or other shady spot and return to the camp in late afternoon. The evening is spent around the campfire listening to the sounds of the African nights- the distant roars of the lions and the doleful, whooping ‘laugh’ of the hyenas. Meals and overnight at the campsite

DAY 8 LAKE BOGORIA - LAKE BARINGO
Check into your camp on this Rift Valley Lake and white-faced scopes owl, Bristol crowned starling, will feature among tens of others.

It is the traditional home of the Njemps tribe, a unique people who are the only pastoral, cattle herding tribe who also fish. Among other pastoral tribes such as the Maasai, eating fish is a taboo.
