Monday              We will spend a second full day in Samburu National Park, home to the
June 26             Oryx, gerenuk, blue necked Somali ostrich, and the reticulated giraffe.

                    view leopard. Overnight at the Ashnil Samburu Camp. B, L, D

Tuesday             An early morning game drive and breakfast will get us on our way, as we
June 27             head to the Rift Valley and Lake Nakuru National Park. This Park has
                    become increasingly popular due to the large number of white rhinos
                    relocated from South Africa. Lion, leopard, and resident flamingo may also
                    be seen. We will stay at Lion's Hill Lodge and have a game drive after
                    lunch. B, L, D www.sarovahotels.com/lionhill/index.php

Wednesday           After breakfast at the lodge we will drive back to Nairobi for lunch at the
June 28             Carnivore Restaurant, where you can dine on ostrich, crocodile, and other
                    selections of meat. We will catch our flight to the Masai Mara at 3:30.
                    Kichwa Tembo Camp, set within the Masai Mara, is our base for the next
                    three nights. The Masai Mara is considered by some to be the best game
                    park in all of Africa. It is the site of many wildlife documentaries and the
                    greatest spectacle of the animal kingdom, The Great Migration of 1.5
                    million wildebeest from the Serengeti. Following a late afternoon game
                    drive, we will relax at the lodge with cocktails and a delicious dinner. B, L,

Thursday            A full day safari in the Mara, Kenya's best game park, will be the highlight
June 29             of your African adventure. During the morning you will have the chance to
                    take an optional balloon ride over the Mara, complete with champagne
                    breakfast and game drive. For those who do not wish to go ballooning, a
                    morning game drive after breakfast will start your Mara safari. The day
                    ends with the afternoon game drive and relaxing at the lodge in the

Friday              A second full day in Kenya’s best game park will allow us time to fully
June 30             appreciate the grander of this magnificent environment. We will go to the
                    Mara River and watch as the wildebeest swim for their lives. The Mara
                    River is inhabited by the Nile crocodile, which feed on the migrating game
                    each year. Black rhino, eland, hippo and crocodile are only a few of the
                    large animals that abound in this ecosystem. This extra day allows us time
                    to relax and enjoy the newly rebuilt Kitchwa Tembo Camp. B, L, D

Saturday            After breakfast we will top off our time in the Mara with a morning game
July 01             drive. We will have time to cross the Mara River and explore the entire
                    Mara ecosystem. An optional visit to a Maasai village will be an experience
                    you will not forget. After lunch we will catch our flight back to Nairobi at
                    3:30 PM. Dinner is on your own, we overnight at the Tamarind Tree Hotel.

do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the
safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” –
