Itinerary
Day 1: Nairobi
There are no planned activities until an evening welcome meeting.
Day 2: Nairobi/Samburu National Reserve
Depart Nairobi and drive north through the farmlands of the Kikuyu people, passing Mt Kenya, Africa's second highest mountain (5199m/17,060ft).
Just outside the national reserve, visit a local Samburu village. Similar in appearance to the Masai but less known, the Samburu are a proud warrior tribe. Watch traditional Samburu dancing, and learn about Samburu tribal life and customs. The walk within the village is run by Samburu tribesmen for the benefit of the community.
Continue to Samburu National Reserve, a wildlife haven to many species rarely found elsewhere.
Enjoy an afternoon wildlife safari drive in search of large elephant and big cat populations living within this wild part of Kenya.
Day 3: Samburu National Reserve
A full day wildlife safari drive to spot a group of animals only seen north of the equator, such as the beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, Grevy's zebra, the majestic reticulated giraffe, and the long-necked gerenuk, a graceful antelope that stands upright on its hind legs to feed on tall bushes.
Day 4: Samburu National Reserve/Lake Nakuru National Park
Nakuru, meaning “dusty place” in the Maasai language, is a cheerful and vibrant agricultural town with a variety of colourful local markets.
Camp outside the town at the edge of Lake Nakuru National Park, the area's principal highlight and best natural attraction. Time and weather permitting, there may be an opportunity to visit a local tea farm and see how the tea is grown, picked and produced.
Day 5: Lake Nakuru National Park
Day 6: Lake Nakuru National Park/Masai Mara
Depart for the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. With its vast open plains and distinctive flat-topped acacia trees, no visit to Kenya would be complete without a visit to this reserve.
Arrive in the afternoon and get settled at the permanent tented camp, the base for exploring the Mara.
Head into the reserve for an afternoon wildlife safari drive.
Day 7: Masai Mara
Rise early for a wildlife safari drive during the best time to spot animals and criss-cross the rolling hills of the African savannah. With a full day to explore the area, we can cover a lot of ground. If time allows, visit the Mara River area.
Opt to go for a balloon safari for a new perspective over the beautiful landscape.
Day 8: Masai Mara/Nairobi
Enjoy one last opportunity to spot the "big five".
Visit the G for Good supported Amani ya Juu for lunch.
In Nairobi there's some time to buy local handicrafts or check out a bit of the city.

I've been on several G Adventures and always enjoyed them. I believe in the company's mission and the style of travel it provides. I only didn't select 10 because I'm not sure if I'd recommend this camping safari in particular due to the poor accommodations and touristy activities.

I have done many G Adventures and I always have a great time. Budget-friendly and everything runs smoothly.
