Kenyan Tribal Encounter

Questions? Call us: 1-866-549-7614

Travel from the noisy streets of Nairobi to the breathtaking silence of the sweltering Suguta Valley and the shimmering waters of Lake Nakuru and the Jade Sea to the arid scrub of the Samburu region. Meet the colourful Samburu people, learn how the tiny tribe of El-Molo survives on the salty shores of Lake Turkana and perhaps even peek inside the thatched huts of the Kikuyu. The roads here might be bumpy and the accommodation very basic but if you bring along a sense of adventure on this cultural and wilderness safari, you'll fall in love with this country of incredible contrasts.

Itinerary

Day 1 Nairobi

Kenya's vivacious capital is home to many mouth-watering places to eat.

Day 2 Lake Nakuru

Get an insight into the life of an African child on a visit to a rural school. Then kick start the safari adventure at Lake Nakuru National Park, a haven for pink-feathered flamingos.

Day 3 Maralal

The unofficial capital of the red-ochred Samburu people, Maralal has a real frontier feel. Enjoy stunning views of the nearby Losiolo Escarpment, an enormous natural amphitheatre which drops sharply down into a valley.

Day 4 South Horr

Descend 2,500 m into the sizzling sands of the Suguta Valley, one of the hottest places on earth. The oasis village of South Horr, a remarkable patch of green amid the forbidding desert, offers shade and shelter for the night.

Days 5-7 Loyangalani

Even the most weathered traveller will be awed by the sight of Lake Turkana, a sea of jade lying in the middle of a parched landscape. Meet the amazing El-Molo people that live along its stark shores, enjoy a sunset boat ride over the incandescent waters and fall asleep under star-studded skies.

Day 8 Samburu

An unusual region of lava plains, riverine forests and thorny scrub, Samburu affords spectacular game viewing. This is the best place to find the Big Five, as well as oryx, gerenuk antelopes and rare Grevy's zebras.

Day 9 Naro Moru

The forested slopes of Mt Kenya are inhabited by colourful Kikuyu tribes as well as handsome black and white colobus monkeys.

Day 10 Nairobi

On the way back to busy Nairobi drive through lush countryside where small-scale farming is a way of life.
