Day 1: Nairobi – Aberdares National Park
You’ll be picked up from your hotel in the morning and proceed to Aberdare National Park, located about 150km (93 miles) east of Nairobi. Arrive in time for lunch at the hotel and later proceed for an afternoon game drive in search of the rare black rhinos, leopards, baboons, and Colobus monkeys. Enjoy this beautifully scenic region much more relaxed than the savannahs and offers an entirely different perspective on the country. The scenery is spectacular, with its mountainous terrain covered in thick tropical forests shrouded in mist. Dinner and your overnight stay are at The Ark Lodge.
Day 2: Aberdares National Park – Samburu National Reserve
After breakfast, depart for Samburu, passing through hush farmlands, crossing the Equator and proceeding to Samburu National Reserve, located in a rugged semi-desert region.

The surrounding terrain is renowned for rare wildlife—long-necked gerenuk, Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, and the Beisa oryx. Leopards frequently pass by.
