Spend a short week on a luxury Kenya safari in Samburu and Masai Mara for an unforgettable look into the landscapes and the people of Kenya. Track black rhino on foot, interact with the semi-nomadic Samburu tribe and learn about local Maasai traditions and culture. During your luxury Kenya safari, see herds of elephant, Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe and desert dwelling animals such as the Gerenuk and Beisa oryx while on guided game drives. Witness the wildebeest and zebra migration numbering in their millions, moving in search of fresh water and grazing. Delight in the wide-open sky and space of the plains while on a walking safari with a Maasai warrior during your Kenya safari.

Day 3: Samburu National Reserve
Dawn breaks in golden bands as we start our day in the bush by scanning the river from our tent’s veranda with a cup of steaming coffee in hand. Before the dew is off the grass, we’re off in pursuit of the elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs that thrive in the reserve’s grasslands and acacia woodlands. And so the day is spent in alternating pursuits of exploration in the bush and relaxation in our cozy Lodge. Overnight at Samburu Simba Lodge Meal Plan Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
