I will never forget floating over the Masai Mara in a hot air balloon observing the wildebeest herds below, it was my 'Out of Africa' fantasy come true.
Located just north of the equator in the rain-shadow of Mt. Kenya on the banks of the Ewaso Ngiro River these 3 reserves protect 300 sq km of mountains, plains, savannah and scrub desert. Not particularly well known these reserves offer an opportunity to enjoy the Kenyan wilderness away from the crowds. Important elephant migration corridors exist in this heartland, as well as northern specialty species like reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, beisa oxryx and gernuk. Healthy numbers of predators are frequently seen here. Lions, hyenas and leopards live along side avifauna, wild dogs, Grevy's Zebra and black rhinoceros. A unique activity on offer at Samburu is a trekking safari. Samburu warriors will guide you through the rugged hills. This is your chance to track elephant on foot, follow a honey-guide bird through the bush to find the hidden nests and learn the survival techniques of the Samburu people.
We did have a marvellous time in Africa. Your arrangements and the representatives were great. I do want to thank you again for your efforts to get us in and planning the best safari.
