Feb 8: Sinyai Lugga

We will meet you in Nanyuki and drive you to Laikipia for your first night on safari. NOTE: We can arrange transport from Nairobi and this will depend on how many people and whether you have bikes or not.

In camp you will be greeted by our team of cooks, camel guys, and guides. After a refreshing lunch you will enjoy a rest before a short evening walk and sundowners on a tall promontory with a commanding view. Greater Kudu inhabit the hillsides that slope down toward our camp and you can scan for these elusive animals. Back at camp you will find a welcoming campfire on the edge of the sandy lugga and hot showers. Dinner always includes healthy but delicious fare.

Feb 9: Nayasura Camp / Tumaren

You will wake up early and start walking or biking towards the next camp. The camels will follow with the camp. A beautiful outcrop of stone overshadows the camp which can be seen for miles as you approach on foot or by bike. The local Laikipia Masai call these rocks Nayasura and stone chippings suggest that they have been used as a camp for millennia. After lunch you will head out on a short walk looking for game. As the sun begins to set you will find yourself at the crest of Nayasura with drinks and bitings watching the baboons come back to roost on the face of the magnificent rock.

Feb 10: Tumaren Ewaso Camp

Today you will be heading down towards the Ewaso Nyiro River, which runs along the eastern edge of the Laikipia Plateau and then turns eastward toward Samburu National Reserve. Along the way you will be looking for Eland, Steinbuck, Giraffe, Waterbuck, Grevy Zebra as well as all the tough-to-see predators such as Wild Dog, Hyena, Lion, Leopard or Cheetah. You will spend the afternoon by the river, swimming and fishing before an evening walk to a sundowner spot looking towards Mt. Kenya.
