An early breakfast, then into the Masai Mara Park where we
will be off the beaten track for most of the day with lunch
under an acacia tree somewhere. Here we hope to see lots of
lions, rhino cheetah, hyena, silver back jackal, bat eared
fox as well as the plains game.
Day 8, 11th October 1996
After breakfast depart to Samburu Park in Northern Kenya
around Mount Kenya, travelling through a number of old
settler's towns. A good days drive with lunch en route,
arriving at our luxury tented camp on the Ewaso Nyiro River.
Day 9, 12th October 1996
Samburu Park is semi arid and as it is further north is
usually hot. Here we find a number of different game species,
oryx, gerenuk, grevys zebra, reticulated giraffe. The early
morning will be spent in the park returning to camp for
brunch and going out again in the afternoon or after tea to
sunset.
Day 10, 13th October
1996
Starts off with an early game drive, the park is so
fascinating that there is always lots to see particularly
looking for elephant, leopard and cheetah.
Day 11, 14th October 1996
Continuation of Day 10, crossing the Ewaso Nyiro river to
explore Buffalo Springs reserve. The scenery here is
dominated by the tall Doum Palms which line the river bank.
Day 12, 15th October 1996
May be a late start or continuation of Day 11. We could
film the Samburu either in camp dancing or with their cattle
crossing the river or collecting water and washing.
Day 13, 16th October 1996
Early departure for lunch in Nairobi then on to Ulu to our
house in the bush on a large cattle ranch. Time to freshen up
and enjoy the views across the Kajiado plains. Cocktails on
the verandah before the evening meal.
Day 14, 17th October 1996
After a early breakfast off to Amboseli for the day where
we can see up to 400 elephants, a majestic sight as they
cross the land to graze in the swamps. Picnic lunch will be
at the top of Observation Hill, not too high but well worth
the climb. Can be a dusty day.
Day 15, 18th October 1996
Into Nairobi to catch the morning flight.
