You will be picked from your hotel in the morning and set off for safari. You drive past the pineapple town of Thika, turn left at Makuyu through to the equator city of Nanyuki where on a good sky-clear morning you might be able to see the snow-capped Mount Kenya (standing at 5,199M high on the majestic Batian, Nelion and Lenana Peaks). You will then proceed to town of Isiolo and to the reserve using Engare Mare Gate (just before Archers’ Post). Arrival at your lodge is in time for lunch followed by a short rest.
Later afternoon, a game viewing drive in the reserve follows to run until sunset and then return to lodge.
Dinner and overnight at Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge (L,D)
2 full days spent fully in the pack inclusive of game drives in the morning & afternoon up to River Ewaso Nyiro (the reserve’s lifeline). Attractions here are incredibly different from the common wildlife that we find on the southern parts of the country; these are adapted to the arid conditions here, making the reserve a special showcase, all these amidst the dotted acacia with Koitogor & Ololokwe Mountains visible.
In the evening you return to your lodge for overnight.
