    1. Day 1 Nairobi - Samburu National Reserve

      Today, you will awake to the exotic birdcalls in a magical new world with the whiff of Kenyan serenity.

      We will meet at 7:00am for a safari briefing before we take a drive to the mystical, dry, rugged and stunning semi-desert; Samburu Game Reserve.

      We will arrive at camp with enough time to settle in before lunch with a little time to relax before we head out for our first game drive between 1600hrs to 1830hrs.

      Due to its remote distance and the fact that it was inaccessible for many years, the park has retained a naturally serene and quiet feeling. The reserve’s topography is mainly open savannah (grassland) with clusters of acacia trees, forest, thorn trees and grassland vegetation and the surrounding is an area of spectacular scenery with its dry plains bisected by the meandering life lung Ewaso Nyiro River that cuts through this reserve, drawing a big population of wildlife to the park

    All the camps and lodges that we use in Africa supply filtered and bottled water. We do encourage people not to over use the bottled water, for environmental reasons; it is always a good idea to take a personal water flask with you, which can be filled up by the camps clean water supply

    If you are going to buy a new camera for your African safari, then I suggest you buy a digital SLR camera. Both Nikon and Canon produce very good, affordable digital SLRs. You will need a good size telephoto zoom lens, at the very least a 200mm lens, and ideally a 300mm lens. Nikon and Canon also have lenses with new technology called Vibration Reduction on Nikon and Image Stabilization with Canon. These lenses have a feature which you can turn on to reduce the old problem of camera shake.

    Binoculars are very important. You will not always have the animals under your nose! A good pair of 8 x 30 or 8 x 42 would be ideal. The small pocket pairs can become frustrating to use unless they are a very good make.
