Day 02 Nairobi
- Shaba Game Reserve [4 hours
approximately] LDBB Leave Nairobi after breakfast and drive up to the Equator crossing for a short stop to see the "performing of the waters", where a local entrepreneur demonstrates the clockwise and anticlockwise properties of running water on each side of the Equator line. Continue to Shaba, where you arrive at the lodge of the same name for lunch. In actual fact there are three adjoining reserves, Samburu, Buffalo Springs and Shaba, situated in arid country north of Mount Kenya, and watered by the Uaso Ngiro River and natural springs. It is very scenic, with craggy hills and everywhere Doum palms following the water courses. Some unusual animal species can be found here; the Reticulated Giraffe, Oryx, Lesser Kudu, Grevy's Zebra, and the Gerenuk, known as the "Giraffe Gazelle". Most of the game viewing takes place around the forests along the river, and this is a good place to spot the elusive leopard. In the afternoon there will be a game drive. Overnight at Sarova Shaba Lodge. |

Elephant,
Cape Buffalo, Giraffe, Topi, Gazelle are
all in abundance, and during the months of July to September the great
migration of Wildebeest and Zebras spill over from the Serengeti.
The sight of these beasts legging it across the Mara River, avoiding both the crocodiles in the river, and the predators harassing them from behind is amazing, and the topic of some of the most spectacular photography ever seen. In the afternoon there is a game drive followed by dinner and overnight. |
