EB.213: PROGRAM (BEST OF SAMBURU- SURANA BUFFALO SPRINGS)

Day 1: Arrival - Nairobi
You will be met upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport by our representative once you finalize with immigration.
Thereafter, you will be transferred to your city Hotel for check in. 

Kenya’s capital city has risen in a single century from a brackish uninhabited swampland to a thriving modern capital.
Modern Nairobi is still the safari capital of the Africa, but the modern world has quickly caught up with the city. A frontier town no more, Nairobi is one of Africa’s largest, and most interesting cities.
Nairobi is a city that never seems to sleep. The entire town has a boundless energy, and is thriving place where all of human life can be found. This is a place of great contrasts where race, tribe and origin all become facets of a unique Nairobi character. The city has not lost its sense of the past, with an excellent museum and the historical home of Karen Blixen, author of Out of Africa open to visitors. This is not a modern capital separated from the great wilderness that surrounds it. Just outside the city is Nairobi National Park, 113 sq. kms of plains, cliffs and forest. The park is home to large herds of zebra, Wildebeest, Buffalo, Giraffe and more. Rhino, Cheetah, and a large number of Lions are all found here, living wild within 20 minutes of the center of town.
Rest of the day is spent at leisure with overnight at the town hotel in Nairobi. 
Dinner will be payable direct.

Day 2: Nairobi - Samburu Game Reserve

Breakfast will be served at your town hotel. After breakfast you will proceed by road to Samburu Game reserve arriving at your camp in time for lunch.

Samburu Game Reserve is within the land of the colorful Samburu people who are close cousins of the Masai. Scenically and faunally dramatic, for most of the year Samburu is sure under the unsympathetic equatorial sun. This arid wilderness is a place where the waters of the Ewaso N'giro attract a profusion of game. This beautiful area is known for its large herds of elephants and elusive leopards as well as northern endemic species including the gerenuk Somali Ostrich, Beisa Oryx and reticulated giraffe.

First afternoon game drive before you return in the evening at your camp for dinner and overnight.

Day 3: Samburu Game Reserve

Another day in Samburu Game Reserve. Your driver with plan your days with you, which can be as active or as leisurely as you wish. You may decide to spend the whole day in the reserve with picnic lunches or enjoy a morning game drive and return to the camp for a leisurely lunch and time to relax before going out game viewing again in the cooler hours of the afternoon. On this day you will visit a Samburu village for cultural experience.
The Samburu people are some of the friendliest in Kenya. Originally a nomadic tribe, the Samburu today still embraces their nomadic culture. They live north of the equator in the geographically fascinating Samburu County of Northern Kenya and are closely related to the Maasai tribe who speak a similar language, derived from Maa. The Samburu, just like the Maasai are a semi-nomadic people. Only the Samburu are still very traditional and have not parted with old customs as compared to the Maasai. Cattle, as well as goats, sheep and camels, play a vital role in the Samburu way of life and culture. The Samburu are highly dependent on their livestock for survival. Their diet comprises mostly of milk and occasionally blood from their cows. The blood is accrued by slightly cutting the jugular of the cow, and draining the blood into a cup. The wound is then promptly sealed with hot ash. Meat is only served on special occasions. The Samburu people's diet is also supplemented with vegetables, roots and tubers that are made into a soup.
 Evening return to your camp for dinner and overnight.

Set in the heart of the great northern territory, amidst the sprawling arid landscape, mottled with lava stones and desert flora & fauna, pours in this beautifully crafted creation that exceeds the term “safari-chic”.

The main infinity pool and spa is carefully bedded into a natural ridge, and oasis for those cooling off after an exciting game drive, lounging, sipping on your favorite cocktail or being pampered by a masseuse… The 16 Tents each with individual plunge pools are carefully positioned on a brow with breathtaking views of the undulating Ewaso and Isiolo River confluence at its foot and in the backdrop, the ever-present Ololokwe and sister hills that complete a heavenly vista. An eagle view terrace perched above the main lounge and dining, where you can take in some of the most beautiful sunsets and continue the journey into the night, stargazing at the myriad of celestial constellations. Below, a quaint airy bar & lounge leading to a cosmopolitan restaurant serving delicately prepared meals.
