Day 6  Lewa Downs-Samburu (BLD)
A light aircraft flight takes us to Samburu in northern Kenya. Samburu is one of Kenya's smaller parks, making game viewing spectacular. Your tented camp is located alongside the Uaso Nyiro River, providing great game viewing opportunities from the verandah of your tent. An afternoon game drive might reveal some of the local species: Grevy's zebra, gerenuk and Beisa oryx.
Day 7  Samburu (BLD)
The "brown" Uaso Nyiro River attracts a wide variety of game in search of water and game viewing along the river banks might reveal zebra, dik dik, buffalo and hippo. Leopard are frequently sighted in Samburu, so be sure to keep a watch on the high tree branches that form a canopy over the banks of the river. Back at camp, relax on the verandah or take a dip in the pool.
Day 8  Samburu-Masai Mara (BLD)
After an early morning game drive, a light aircraft flight takes you to Kenya's most famous park, the Masai Mara National Reserve.

Day 9  Masai Mara (BLD)
Two full days in the Masai Mara give you the opportunity to explore and game-view in this rich area. Thanks to the abundant food supply provided by large herds of plains game such as zebra, impala, buffalo and more, the big cats are found frequently in the Mara. Birdlife in this area is prolific as well.
