DAY 4 SABUK LODGE
Set off in the cool early morning for a walk or ride with
camels. Led by a professional safari guide and his team of
trained Masai trekkers, the walk takes you across the hills
with glimpses of the Ewaso Nyiro river. Brunch is under the
acacia trees. Take an afternoon swim in a natural rock pool.
Return to Sabuk Lodge for campfire sundowners and dinner.
DAY 5 SABUK FLY CAMP
The day will be spent walking with and / or riding a camel
assisted safari. Your guide and professional crew of Samburu
warriors will accompany you and set up a fly camp for 1
night along the dramatic gorges of the tumbling Ewaso Nyiro
River. The trek is easy and great for inquisitive family
groups wishing to learn more about bushcraft and its natural
inhabitants at close quarters.
DAY 6 LION HILL, Lake Nakuru national park
Returning back to the Sabuk lodge just after sunrise and a
hearty bush breakfast we then depart and drive down the
escarpments and across to the Rift Valley, arriving at Lion
Hill in time for lunch. World famous for its millions of
shimmering pink flamingoes; Lake Nakuru is an
ornithologists’ mecca. Flotillas of Pelicans swimming by,
hundreds of storks, herons and egrets add to this natural
menagerie of colour. The park is also one of the few
reserves left where one can see both Black & White Rhinos in
the wild. Together with lurking Lions, Giraffes and
Leopards, Lake Nakuru provides excellent game viewing
amongst the yellow–barked acacia forests.

After an early start from Lion Hill, we drive slowly up the
other side of the Rift Valley onto the Mau Escarpment and
through the verdant tea growing zones of Kericho. We make a
gentle descent down to the Masai Mara, arriving in camp for
lunch. Elephant Pepper camp is at a specially chosen site,
away from the busy tourist circuit. This secluded camp
offers you the traditional safari experience in one of
Kenya’s most famous wildlife havens.
