BALLOON SAFARI - FROM £329 h Prebook a hot air

DAY 6 h Enjoy an early morning tea at Treetops then return
to the Outspan hotel for breakfast and to collect your left
luggage. Drive north to Samburu National Reserve where
you will spend the next two nights at Samburu Lodge
situated on the banks of the Ewaso Ngiro River. Experience
the African desert at its best and as a lesser known park it
is less crowded, with game drives on both days giving you
the opportunity to hopefully spot leopard, lion and
cheetah. This is the dry, north of Kenya and the reserve
attracts wildlife not often seen elsewhere, so be on the
look out for gerenuks – a unique gazelle with a long neck
that stands on its hind legs to feed (approx. 110 miles).
DAY 8 h Drive south to the Sweetwaters Camp for lunch and
an afternoon game drive. Visit the remarkable Chimpanzee
and Rhino Sanctuaries. Incorporated within the Ol Pejeta
Conservancy, the sanctuary is the only place in Kenya
where the highly endangered and remarkably intelligent
chimpanzee can be seen and houses the largest black rhino
sanctuary in East Africa. Dinner and overnight stay at
Sweetwaters Tented Camp, experiencing the charming
ambience of under-canvas living (approx. 150 miles).
DAY 9 h Drive via Thomson’s Falls to Lake Nakuru for lunch.
Here, due to an abundance of algae in the lake, flamingo
famously line the shores. Sometimes (in season) all that can
be seen is an incredible moving mass of pink!
Enjoy an afternoon game drive hopefully spotting beautiful
flamingos on the lake and the resident rhino. Overnight at
Lake Nakuru Lodge (approx. 110 miles).
DAY 10 h Drive to the awe-inspiring Maasai Mara and take
an afternoon game drive. The most famous game reserve in
the world, the Maasai Mara is what safari dreams are made
of -rolling grasslands, wide open savannah and rich in
African wildlife. Spot prides of lions basking in the shade,
seek out an elusive solo leopard and have your camera at
the ready for other spectacular wildlife including cheetah
and hyena. The Maasai Mara is also renowned for the
incredible annual migration of zebra and wildebeest. Three
nights at Keekorok Lodge (approx. 153 miles).
DAY 11 h Early morning, mid-morning and afternoon game
drives in the Maasai Mara game reserve or perhaps take an
optional balloon safari (extra cost).
DAY 12 h Another full day in the Maasai Mara with early
morning, mid-morning and afternoon game drives.
DAY 13 h Return to Nairobi (approx. 160 miles) in time for
lunch (extra cost). Spend the afternoon resting at the
Southern Sun Mayfair Nairobi where you may wish to
prebook a day room (extra cost) before your onward journey.
