Jambo and welcome to Kenya! Touch down in Nairobi today where you will be met and transferred to your luxury hotel. Sleep well tonight as your adventure begins tomorrow morning.

Be ready for a heart-warming experience as you visit the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, part of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.

David Sheldrick was one of Kenya's first naturalists and he was also the founder warden of Tsavo National Park. For more than 28 years, David and Daphne Sheldrick worked together to protect wildlife from poachers, and to help save many of the smallest victims of poaching, baby elephants, rhinos and more. During your visit you'll meet some of the very special team of elephant handlers who live 24/7 with the elephants and take the place of their lost elephant family. It is an emotional and inspiring visit.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.

A stop at the Karen Blixen Museum provides time to walk the grounds and picture life in the days the famous author of "Out of Africa" lived here. The museum was established in 1985 to commemorate the life of Baroness Karen Blixen, whose story was told in her book, Out of Africa. As you walk through the home and stroll the grounds, you might also see some replicas that appeared in the famous movie, "Out of Africa".

Then it's on to feed the giraffes at the Giraffe Center. At the Giraffe Center you will have an opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the giraffes by feeding them from a specially built elevated platform. When the giraffes hear the familiar sound of pellets being poured, they will quickly stick their head in to be first in line. Watch out, those long tongues are quick to grab a pellet!

Leave Nairobi after an early breakfast and head north to Samburu. Pass near Thika and continue north through some breathtaking scenery dotted with rushing mountain streams and fields of tea and coffee. Afer Nanyuki town, continue north, eventually reaching a dusty outpost knowns as Isiolo, the last major stop on the journey into the remote northern frontier district. From here, it's a fairly short hop to Samburu. Arrive at the lodge in time for lunch and then depart for an afternoon game drive.

Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives today. Samburu's small size (about 117 square miles) makes wildlife spotting easier. In addition, you will find species rarely found in other areas of Kenya. They include the reticulated giraffe and the beautiful, fuzzy-eared Grevy's zebra. Also found here are elephant, several species of the smaller gazelle, buffalo, cheetah, leopard, dik-dik, and wart hog.

Among the large variety of birdlife you might spot in Samburu are ostrich, vultures, African hawk eagle, pale-chanting goshawk, martial eagle, vulturine guineafowl, buffcrested bustard, as well as a wide variety of starlings, wavers and waxbills.

Leave after breakfast and drive south into the forests of the Aberdare Mountain Range, arriving at Aberdare Country Club for lunch. Then, continue to the Ark, set in a forest glade with a waterhole that attracts all sorts of wildlife during the day and night. Spend the rest of the day observing wildlife as it visits the waterhole.

An early morning start first takes you north-west heading towards Nyahururu followed by travel in a southerly direction to your next destination, the spectacular Lake Nakuru. Once in the park, view game en route to the lodge. Following lunch and a siesta, there is an afternoon game drive returning to the lodge as the sun sets. The national park, known for its birdlife, offers a possibility to view flamingoes. It is also home to Black and White rhinos as well as the endangered Rothschild Giraffe.

We leave the magnificent Rift Valley today and drive to what may be one of the world's most famous national reserve, the Masai Mara. Two nights here provides great opportunities for game drives. Keep your game list handy, as the plains of the Masai Mara are filled with myriad wildlife. Plains game like zebra, wildebeest and buffalo are omnipresent and are perfect for attracting the predators like lion, cheetah, leopard and hyena. Birdlife is simply sensational, with more than 450 species of birds recorded in the park. Keep your binoculars and camera at the ready as you never know when that perfect sighting will appear! After lunch, head out on an afternoon game drive.

The day begins with a glorious game drive in the Masai Mara. The Masai Mara is best described with superlatives because everything about the Masai Mara is outstanding and no matter what time of year you visit, game viewing is amazing. Great herds of elephants shuffle across the plains while scores of Thomson's and Grant's gazelle munch the grass on the plains. The gazelle, along with eland, topi, zebra and wildebeest provide quite a variety of food for the predators, so they are also present in abundance - lion, leopard and cheetah al hunt here.

Sadly, the adventure comes to an end, but the memories are forever. The drive back to Nairobi has us arriving in time to freshen up in the day room reserved for you. Later, transfer to the airport for your departure flight.
