Lion King Safari

At 07:00, meet our hospitality representative at your hotel lobby/airport. After introductions to your dedicated safari driver-guide and a pre-safari briefing, depart via the Great North Road, through the famed Kenyan Central Highlands to the Equator Point just before Nanyuki Town for a brief stopover.

Here, the locals perform a water demonstration to mark the position of the equator, and for a small tip, you will be awarded an "equator certificate". Drive on to Samburu Game Reserve to arrive at your lodge in time for check-in and lunch.

Spend the afternoon at leisure, swim and soak up the sun! Later, depart for an afternoon game drive in the reserve.

Samburu is the most accessible game reserve in the northern region of Kenya. This park represents the semi-arid ecosystem of northern Kenya and showcases some of the country's most beautiful wildlife.

Meals & drinks: Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included); Drinks not included

Overnight: Samburu Sopa Lodge
Mid-range lodge located inside Samburu National Reserve

Spend the whole day in the reserve with morning and afternoon game drives. Animals typical of semi-arid ecosystems include the reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, oryx, Somali ostrich, and Grevy's zebra. Many visitors to this reserve are amazed at the large herds of elephants that roam this area.

The reserve is among the most pleasant in Kenya, and relatively undiscovered. The permanent forest shade on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River offers wonderful year-round game viewing, and the birdlife is unusually numerous. A highlight of this park is watching large numbers of elephants bathing in the Ewaso Nyiro River. Other animals include lions, cheetahs, leopards, buffaloes, impalas, elands, crocodiles, and hippos, among others. Birdlife is most abundant in this reserve, with some of the most beautiful birds.

Meru National Park is a pristine wilderness offering an exceptional setting for wildlife safaris and outdoor adventure. Strikingly beautiful and richly diverse, the park provides expansive landscapes where few destinations can compare.

Spend a full day in this unspoiled, exclusive wilderness, far from the crowded tourist circuits of other Kenyan reserves. The park features dramatic scenery with wide-open savannahs, doum palms, baobab trees, and numerous intersecting river streams.

You can spot the Big Five (lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos), as well as northern speciality species like reticulated giraffes, gerenuk, Somali ostrich, and Grevy's zebra.

The park is home to a 20,000-acre rhino population that allows visitors to see a thriving population of both white and black rhinos up close. Because the park receives fewer visitors, your wildlife viewings are remarkably quiet, private, and uncrowded.

At the forefront of Kenya's conservancy program, the conservancy boasts the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa, hosts Kenya's only Chimpanzee Sanctuary, and shelters large numbers of rare and endangered species.
