Day 1: Nairobi to Samburu Frontier & Ewaso Nyiro Sundowner

Depart Nairobi early in the morning in a custom-built 4x4 safari land cruiser, driving north past the fertile, green slopes of Mount Kenya. Watch the landscape dramatically shift into semi-arid plains as you descend into the northern frontier. Arrive at your luxury safari lodge anchored along the banks of the river inside the Samburu National Reserve in time for lunch. In the afternoon, set out on your first game drive through the unique doum palm groves and thorny scrublands. Look out for massive herds of elephants gathering at the riverbanks before returning to camp for a campfire dinner under the stars.
