Herds of Zebra, Oryx and Grant's gazelle predominate on the large plains with smaller numbers of Jackson's Hartebeest and Thompson's Gazelle » In the mixed bush we find Dikdiks, Gerenuk, Impala and Lesser Kudu if we are lucky enough to see them » At camp we will arrive in time for lunch » The pack camels with our camp will have made a more direct route than us and so they will have arrived before us and set up most of camp before our arrival » After lunch we will follow our routine of resting, reading or badminton for the energetic and later another walk in the evening to a pretty spot for sundowners DAY 4: TUMAREN EWASO CAMP » Today we will be heading down toward the Ewaso Nyiro River, which runs along the eastern edge of the Laikipia Plateau and then turns eastward toward Samburu National Reserve » Along the way we will be looking for Eland, Steinbuck, Giraffe, Waterbuck, Grevy's Zebra as well as all the tough-to-see predators such as Wild Dog, Hyena, Lion, Leopard or Cheetah » We will also be looking from high open points for Elephants as we as the shy Buffalo that hide by day in thick bush » For safety reasons we carry a gun on every safari and we never walk blindly through thick bush country where we can't know what is around the next corner » When we arrive at the Ewaso Nyiro we may want to take a quick swim before lunch » After lunch, our rest and sundowners on a high rocky hillside we will return to our camp on the river for dinner and a toast to our adventure DAY 5: LOSIRIMORU » From our camp on the Ewaso Nyiro River we will be heading to our last and most dramatic camp at Losirimoru, the tallest of the local rocky hills and a place frequented by Wild Dogs » Along our way we will be passing excellent country for spotting game, sweeping plains often times teeming with activity » Our perch in camp looking south toward Mt. Kenya is an incredibly serene spot and an ideal location to ponder our travels and adventures » From the rocks above camp at sunset a glass of wine or a Tusker may be the best drink you have ever had DAY 6: END OF SAFARI » Drive out to our local airstrip or make the drive back to Nanyuki for the scheduled flight back to Nairobi The above Walking Nayusere and Tumaren rates are inclusive of: -» Full board accommodation on safari for 5 nights with drinks » Guides and camels for the safari » Flying doctor membership Excludes » Conservation fees: us$ 100 per person » Transfers and flights » Nanyuki one way by vehilce: us$ 200 per vehicle » Nanyuki one way by private charter: us$ 360 - 500 per plane » Booking Conditions |
