Kenya Samburu Safari
7 night escorted safari from £1499 including all flights, most meals and all transfers
 A superb introduction to the splendours of Kenya, visiting a variety of key national parks and game reserves along a classic
safari circuit. Accommodation in memorable locations includes an overnight stay at Treetops.
Treetops is one of the most famous game viewing lodges in the world. It overlooks a waterhole and salt lick high in the
Aberdare National Park. The lodge rises straight out of the ground on stilts, and open balconies are the ideal vantage points
for viewing and photographing game.
This itinerary takes in either Lake Nakuru or Lake Naivasha where a variety of birds including numerous bright pink
flamingos often entertain.
Keekorok Lodge was the first lodge built in the Masai Mara and is in a prime position to enjoy the wildebeest migration.
A hippo pool in the grounds provides hours of entertainment. Crocodiles also inhabit the water, and buffalo might meander
nearby. Hot-air balloons take off a few minutes drive from Keekorok, so this is a fantastic ‘optional extra’.
