On this day	Today is your arrival day in lively Nairobi, where you will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel, so please supply us with your flight details. You will have time at leisure to explore the city, and surrounds, taking in old colonial architecture and the brightly coloured crowds to get a feel for Africa.

It also has sections on wildlife, art, geology, local history and a snake park. The Bomas of Kenya is a living open-air museum of the tribes of Kenya, including regular dance performances. The Nairobi National Park is just south of the city, and covers 114 sq km. It has over 400 bird species of and population’s lions, leopards, and one of the country’s few thriving populations of black rhino.

On this day	We spend the day roaming through these sister reserves on game drives. With a distinct isolated beauty of the dry North, the neighboring National reserves of Samburu, Shaba & Buffalo Springs, are heavy with classic big game, termite skyscrapers, home to the Ewaso Ngiro River and hosts a population of creatures that occur in no other major Kenyan Park. These include rarities such as the blue-leered Somali Ostrich, Grevys Zebra, unicorn like beisa oryxes, flocks of vulturine, marshal and helmeted eagles, reticulated giraffes and the gerenuk, a gazelle with an exceptionally long neck. The local populations of the neighboring communities are of the Samburu tribe, a descendent clan of the Masai. Cattle, as well as sheep, goats and camels, are of utmost importance to the Samburu culture and way of life.

On this day	After packing up our camp we visit both a Samburu Village and the Women’s Umoja village nestled on the outskirts of the game reserves in the morning. The Samburu tribe share very similar traits to the Masai herders of the South. Throughout this region, local Samburu tribe’s people can be seen wearing their traditional dress and ornate jewellery. The Samburu are pastoralists, who live to the south and east of Lake Turkana. The social structure is essentially a gerontocracy - rule by elders - assuring the elders first choice among the young unmarried women. Men are usually about 30 by the time they marry, but the women marry at about 17 years of age. The Women’s Umoja (meaning “unity” is Kiswahili) village was originally founded as a refuge for abused woman, who abandoned their homes and started their own village, which has now blossomed into a viable village selling traditional Samburu jewellery to visitors. We continue our journey on the Trans African highway towards Marsabit, which is an extinct volcano which is heavily forested on its upper slopes forming a welcoming oasis rising high above the dry heat of the surrounding desert lands. We drive through the Losai National Park, admiring the volcanic vents and landscapes of the Seredupi plains before stopping in Laisamis. Marsabit means ‘Place of Cold' and with its swirling mists and moss-hung cloud forests the location epitomises its name. We continue on a dirt road towards the Marsabit National park, a haven for African elephants, buffaloes and Greater kudus, we stop to admire the view of the extinct volcano before spending the afternoon exploring Lake Paradise on foot with a KWS ranger. Sublimely beautiful, the lake is ringed by forests where the trees are laced with delicate filigrees of Spanish moss, silken-cloaked Colobus monkey preen and has many thirsty visitors lapping at its banks. Embrace the feeling of escapism as you find yourself in a place where the tranquility and pristine beauty of nature is unparalleled.

On this day	Travelling along the Trans African highway we stop to visit another volcanic crater, the Gof Bongole, on the eastern periphery known to be the largest and most dramatic of the craters, having a 10 km rim before arriving in Marsabit town in the morning for a quick shopping stop. We make our way back into the land of deserts and lava flows as we pass Mount Marsabit which is peppered with extinct volcanic craters, known locally as gofs. Cloaked in aromatic moss-encrusted forests, the craters are lined with stands of juniper and podocarpus. We continue our journey through the land of crater lakes and volcanoes and enter the Chalbi desert, a flat plain formed by a age old crafter lake which fills up to form a shallow body of water during heavy rainfall. We head towards Kalacha Dida which is an oasis on the edge of the desert and a nourishing watering place for nomadic tribes, mostly Gabbras who are constantly on the move. In the afternoon we take an explorative walk visiting the sites of ancient rock carvings and paintings at the Afgaba Waterhole.

On this day	A long day of driving through the arid shifting landscape of the rugged North, although rather demanding the journey to Sibiloi National Park and the beauty of the remote and wild plains is well worth the effort. En route we take a break from the hot and dusty road and enter a petrified wood forest; the remains of a once mighty Cedar forest that shows that 7 million years ago this area was lush and densely forested. We continue our epic crossing of the Chalbi Desert and head towards our campsite nestled in the Sibiloi National Park on the shores of the fabled Lake Turkana. En route we have the option of stopping at some of the traditional Rendille villages peppered along the way. The nomadic Rendille warriors are known as “The holders of the stick of God” and roam the land with their iconic cattle, camels and goats. They wear traditional dress of purple and red robes, with feathers, beads and goat skins. In the late afternoon we arrive at the shimmering blue-green hues of Lake Turkana, known to many as the fabled “Jade Sea” or the “Cradle of Mankind”. It’s the largest desert alkaline lake in the world which supports a complex network of fish, grazing mammals, bird life and predators. This is a result of algae particles, which shift with changes of the wind and light, so that the water surface shifts from blue to grey to extraordinary jade. Its lapping shores extend for 288 kilometres up to the Ethiopian / Kenyan border and its modest depths reach up to 140 m. The lake is home to exceptionally large Nile crocodiles and the smallest tribe in Kenya, the El Molo. Said to have originated from either Somalia or Ethiopia, the El Moro people reside on the “Island of Ghosts” in igloo like dwellings on the shores of Turkana. They live off the land, hunting water species such as fish, hippopotamus and even the cunning Nile crocodile and gather what little scrub vegetation there is to be found amongst the volcanic wasteland surrounding the waters of this fabled lake.

On this day	From the most Northern point of our trip we head south to the shimmering blue-green hues of Lake Turkana, known to many as the fabled “Jade Sea” or the “Cradle of Mankind”. It’s the largest desert alkaline lake in the world which supports a complex network of fish, grazing mammals, bird life and predators. The colour of the lake is a result of algae particles, which shift with changes of the wind and light, so that the water surface shifts from blue to grey to extraordinary jade.

On this day	We head south-west to our next destination, the Masai Mara - arguably one of the finest game reserves in Africa. The area is known for its rolling green plains and riverine woodlands. The jewel in Africa’s crown the Mara is host to the most spectacular array of wildlife. For three months of the year, the Masai Mara Reserve is home to the greatest annual phenomenon, the Wildebeest Migration, which crosses its rolling grasslands and savanna districts during the months of late July to October. Over several million animals take part in this epic journey across the Serengeti-Mara eco system, surging over the flood swollen Mara River, attempting daring crocodile infected crossing points and constantly shadowed by their padded predators. During these months the animals rest and rejuvenate before they continue their circular migration, re-entering into the eastern corridor of the Serengeti. The Mara can be visited year round, as it has one of the highest concentrations of predator to prey ratio in Africa, and to witness the daily primal battle amongst its grassy plains makes this reserve one of Africa’s best wildlife destinations. In the afternoon we set out on a game drive after setting up our camp, deep in the Kenyan wilderness.

On this day	A full day of game driving in the impressive reserve, with a picnic lunch in the park. An even earlier morning wake up for those who opt for a pre-booked Hot Air Balloon safari over the golden plains of the iconic Masai Mara. The amber rolling plains of the Masai Mara personifies the very spirit of Africa: wild, dramatic and staggering beautiful. The plains are home to a massive numbers of grazing animals and predators and the interaction between the many species often provide some of the best wildlife viewing opportunities in the world. During the day we also stop to visit a traditional Masai Manyatta as the reserve is also inhabited by the legendary Maasai communities dwelling with their cherish cattle herds. A century of close association with the wildlife has resulted in an almost symbiotic relationship where wildlife and people live in peace with one another. They often move hundreds of kilometers with large herds of livestock in search of water and rich pastures. Their diet is based on fresh / curdled milk and meat from their livestock. Centuries ago the Maasai were feared as ruthless conquerors and cattle rustlers who invaded other tribal areas in search of bigger grazing land and more cattle. The Maasai are also famous for drinking a mixture of cattle blood and milk during ceremonial rites. Cattle are the mainstay of the traditional Maasai way of life, and their importance is embedded deep into the hearts and minds of these peoples. So much so that one of the traditional maasai beliefs was that God sent all the cattle down to earth only for the Maasai.
