Nairobi was created in 1896 at the time of the construction of the Mombasa-Kampala railway on a high plateau at 1600 metres altitude. At this time the Masai grazed their cattle along the banks of the river ‘Ennairobi, which in their language ‘Maa’, means cold. Today Nairobi has More...e aspect of a European town with a population of over 1 million. It is difficult to imagine that at the beginning of the century you may have met a lion or rhinoceros during an evening stroll down the main street. We leave Nairobi in the direction of the Ngong Hills. Acacia trees and termite mounds line this excellent tarmac road, which brings us rapidly to the border at Namanga. The town is dominated by the sacred mountain Ol donyo Orok, where one of the most important Laibon or Masai sorcerers has been buried. But it is not the religious aspect that attracts the mass of people to this town. In fact it’s the merchants with their contraband goods who are trading along the border post. All sorts of items are proposed to us while we go through the formalities to cross into Tanzania. Once in Tanzania the huge plains continue to spread before us, as far as Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru. On a small track we head towards the Longido hills. Night camping.

Depart in the morning and drive north across the Equator into Lewa Downs Conservancy. Visit the prehistoric site and see the community crafts. Lunch and afternoon game drive, dinner and overnight at Lewa Safari Camp.

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).
