Day 1
On arrival in Nairobi you will be met by Safaris Unlimited at the International airport and transferred to our small home and farm near the Ngong Hills. Alternatively we will meet you at your hotel at about 9.00am. While drinking Kenyan tea or coffee your professional guide, Gordon or Tony Church, will give you a briefing on your safari. We then drive for approximately 5 hours out through the fertile Kikuyu highlands to the edge of the Great Rift Valley, into which we descend 2,000 feet. The panorama of grassland studded with volcanic mountains is home to an animal kingdom unrivaled anywhere else in Africa. Our route takes us up over the Mau Escarpment and through the Masai trading town of Narok. We fork south onto rough roads, reaching our private camp at the foothills of the Loita Mountain Range in time for a late lunch. Camp is established beneath giant yellow-fever acacia trees and is a popular roost for olive baboons and vervet monkeys.
The afternoon is spent settling-in, followed by a short ride to familiarise ourselves with the horses. (As an optional extra you may like to fly to the Mara on a scheduled charter). Meal Plan : Lunch and dinner in camp. Overnight : Private Mobile Tented Camp ~ Barkitabu, Masailand.
