Beschrijving

Embark on a guided safari to Mount Kenya and Samburu National Reserve. Reach Point Lenana, explore diverse ecosystems, and witness unique wildlife in Kenya's northern wilderness.
Begin your adventure on the mighty Mount Kenya, an ancient volcano that pierces the equatorial sky at an impressive 17,057 feet. Start in the mysterious bamboo and hygenia forests at 8,000 feet, where elephants forge ancient paths through the undergrowth and buffalo graze in hidden clearings.

As you ascend through diverse ecological zones, watch the landscape transform dramatically around you – from the enigmatic giant heaths to the otherworldly senecios that stand like sentinels against the African sky.

The mountain portion of your Mount Kenya-Samburu Safari culminates with the conquest of Point Lenana at 16,355 feet. This achievement, accessible to anyone with good physical fitness, offers a sense of triumph that few other African adventures can match. Standing at the peak, gain a new perspective on life as you gaze across the vast Kenyan landscapes stretching endlessly below.

After descending from the mountain’s ethereal heights, transition to the sun-baked wilderness of Samburu and Buffalo Springs National Reserves. Here, the Ewaso Nyiro River cuts through semi-arid landscapes, creating an oasis that attracts some of Africa’s most unique and endangered species.

Witness the elegant Gerenuk standing on its hind legs to browse, marvel at the distinctive patterns of the reticulated giraffe, and watch as Grevy’s zebras gather at riverside pools. Picture yourself watching a leopard draped languidly across an acacia branch, or observing a cheetah teaching its cubs to hunt.

With over 450 bird species calling these reserves home, each moment brings new discoveries – from the majestic Martial Eagle soaring overhead to the vibrant Golden-breasted Starling catching the last rays of sunset.
