Day 1: Nairobi to Aberdares - An Enchanting Start

Your journey begins with a warm welcome from the Jossec Safaris team, who will meet you in Nairobi and provide a briefing on the exciting days ahead. Then, it’s time to set out on a scenic drive to the Aberdares, a land of thick forests, misty valleys, and cascading waterfalls. Arriving at the historic Treetops Hotel, you’ll find yourself staying in a unique treetop lodge overlooking a lively waterhole frequented by elephants, buffalo, and more. As you relax on your balcony or in the observation deck, witness the magic of wildlife up close, a special feature of Treetops. Tonight, enjoy dinner under the stars and the peaceful sounds of nature as animals gather below. This is just the beginning of an extraordinary adventure with Jossec Safaris.

Day 2: Aberdares to Samburu - Into the Heart of the Wild

After a hearty breakfast, we depart for Samburu National Park, one of Kenya’s hidden gems. En route, you’ll pass through rolling hills and breathtaking landscapes, showcasing Kenya’s diverse beauty. Upon arriving in Samburu, settle into the luxurious Samburu Sopa Lodge, nestled amid stunning views of the savannah. After a brief rest, prepare for your first afternoon game drive, where the excitement truly begins. Samburu is known for its unique wildlife, including the endangered Grevy’s zebra, the reticulated giraffe, and the elegant gerenuk. Keep your camera ready as your Jossec Safaris guide takes you to prime locations to observe lions, elephants, and leopards. As the sun sets over the park, return to the lodge for dinner, recounting the day’s adventures with fellow travelers.

Day 3: Full Day in Samburu - Thrilling Game Drives & Rare Sightings

Today is dedicated to exploring Samburu’s wonders. After breakfast, set out for a full day of game drives with your knowledgeable Jossec Safaris guide, who will share fascinating insights into the park’s ecosystem and animal behavior. Spot the “Samburu Special Five” – species that are unique to this region, including the Somali ostrich and the Beisa oryx. Samburu’s semi-arid landscape and scenic Ewaso Ng’iro River make it a prime location for observing herds of elephants cooling off by the water’s edge, a breathtaking sight you won’t forget. Pause for a picnic lunch amidst nature before continuing your exploration. The evening is free for you to relax at the lodge, enjoy the views, and soak in the tranquility of the African wilderness.

Day 4: Samburu to Nairobi - A Fond Farewell

On the final day, enjoy a leisurely breakfast at Samburu Sopa Lodge before we embark on a scenic drive back to Nairobi. Reflect on the incredible sights, sounds, and memories you’ve collected over these past few days with Jossec Safaris. We’ll drop you off at your Nairobi hotel or the airport, depending on your plans, ensuring a comfortable and smooth end to this unforgettable safari adventure. As you bid farewell to Kenya, you’ll carry with you the spirit of the wild and memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.
