Eat breakfast first thing in the morning, then leave early for Samburu National Reserve. We'll cross the equator and pass through the lower reaches of Mount Kenya on the picturesque trip. The area where the equator line crosses through will be the site of our first significant rest stopovers. This is a fantastic chance to take pictures and share them with family and friends back home. We plan to arrive at Sarova Shaba Game Lodge for a late lunch. After lunch, you'll go on a game drive to look for locally locally present wildlife species including the blue-necked Somali ostrich, Beisa oryx, Grevy's zebra, and reticulated giraffe, all of which are uncommon elsewhere in the nation.

You have a full day in Samburu today, including early morning and late afternoon game drives to look for the elusive "Special Five" or "Northern Five," which can only be found in this area north of the equator. The Reticulated Giraffe, Grevy's Zebra, Beisa Oryx, Somali Ostrich, Gerenuk, and crocodiles in the Ewaso Nyiro River are considered to be the "Special Five." Additionally, the sanctuaries are home to over 365 different bird species. The lion, leopard, and cheetah are among the big cats that live in the reserve. It will be interesting to see that the elephants in Samburu have a distinctive reddish color due to dust bathing in the region's distinctive red soil. Did you also know that the best place to view stars is under the Samburu skies? An authentic Samburu village must be visited as part of any Samburu tour. There is no additional cost for the visit.

Early morning game drives to Ol Pejeta Conservancy , the largest black rhino reserve in East Africa and home to two of the last northern white rhinos in the world, are followed by breakfast in Samburu.

The flamingos and more than 400 other bird species that may be spotted at Lake Nakuru are what give the area its notoriety. The lake is a soda lake that lies at the bottom of the rift valley. Millions of flamingos in one place makes for an amazing sight. The lake appears pink-ringed from a distance. The Rothschild's giraffe and the black and white rhino are two examples of the several endangered animals for which it has developed a reputation as a vital safe haven. There are also lions, waterbuck, buffalo, and baboons living here.

After a sumptuous meal in the early morning, we will travel to the fabled Masai Mara Game Reserve. It is certain to be breathtaking as we travel through the Great Rift Valley, something that runs from Syria to Mozambique. We plan to go to Sarova Mara Game Camp in plenty of time for lunch. The opulent camp is close to the Mara River and is regarded as the ideal spot for observing wildlife. At 4 pm, the renowned Masai Mara will host its first game drive.
