Afterward, you'll check into your hotel for some relaxation and preparation for the safari ahead.

Day 2: Nairobi to Ol Pejeta Conservancy After a hearty breakfast at your hotel, your journey begins as you depart Nairobi and head north towards the stunning Ol Pejeta Conservancy. This conservation area is nestled between the scenic foothills of Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Range, offering a diverse habitat for a wide array of wildlife. Upon arrival, you'll check into your lodge or camp and have some time to settle in before embarking on an afternoon game drive. Ol Pejeta is known for its successful conservation efforts, including being home to the last two remaining northern white rhinos in the world. Keep your camera ready to capture sightings of these majestic creatures and other iconic African wildlife against the backdrop of Mount Kenya.

Day 3: Ol Pejeta to Samburu National Reserve After breakfast, you'll bid farewell to Ol Pejeta and head further north to the captivating Samburu National Reserve. This reserve is renowned for its rugged beauty and unique wildlife species not found in other parts of Kenya, such as the Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, and Somali ostrich. Upon arrival, you'll check into your accommodation and then set out to explore the reserve on an afternoon game drive. Keep your eyes peeled for sightings of the elusive leopard, which is known to roam the reserve's rocky outcrops and dense acacia woodlands.

After a delicious breakfast, you'll embark on a full-day game drive, traversing the reserve's diverse landscapes in search of its iconic wildlife. From the banks of the Ewaso Ng'iro River to the vast open plains, every corner of Samburu offers unique photography opportunities. Be sure to capture images of the resident elephants cooling off in the river and the graceful gerenuk standing tall on their hind legs to reach the succulent leaves of the acacia trees.

Day 5: Samburu to Lake Nakuru National Park After breakfast, it's time to bid farewell to Samburu as you journey south to Lake Nakuru National Park. This park is a birdwatcher's paradise, known for its millions of flamingos that flock to the alkaline waters of Lake Nakuru.
