Day 1
Nairobi to Samburu- Your Solo Adventure Begins
Nairobi to Samburu- Your Solo Adventure Begins
Your adventure begins with a personal pickup from your Nairobi hotel or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport by your dedicated Lambwe Untamed Safaris driver-guide.
After a safari briefing and introduction to your guide, depart north toward Samburu National Reserve in your private 4×4 Land Cruiser. Traveling privately means there are no unfamiliar guests joining the vehicle and the day's pace can be adjusted around your preferences.
Enjoy the changing Kenyan landscapes as you travel from the central highlands toward the rugged and dramatically beautiful north. Comfort, refreshment and washroom stops can be incorporated along the journey.
Upon arrival in Samburu, check into your lodge, enjoy lunch or refreshments and take time to settle into your room.
Depending on arrival time and how you feel after the journey, enjoy an optional gentle afternoon game drive before returning to your accommodation for dinner.

Day 2
Samburu- Discover the Samburu Special Five
Samburu- Discover the Samburu Special Five
Wake to the distinctive beauty of northern Kenya and begin your first full day of wildlife exploration.
After breakfast, head into Samburu National Reserve with your private guide in search of its remarkable wildlife. Samburu is particularly famous for the Samburu Special Five—the reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, Somali ostrich, gerenuk and Beisa oryx.
The Ewaso Nyiro River is the lifeline of this semi-arid ecosystem, attracting elephants and numerous other animals to its banks. Lions, leopards and cheetahs may also be encountered.
Because this is your private safari, wildlife viewing doesn't have to follow the pace of a group. Spend more time photographing an elephant herd, watching giraffes or simply appreciating the landscape whenever you wish.
Depending on your preferred pace, the day can include a picnic lunch in the wilderness or be divided into morning and afternoon game drives with a relaxing lunch break at the lodge.

Full-day Samburu Exploration
Full-day Samburu Exploration
Your second full day in Samburu provides something especially valuable on a solo safari: time.
Instead of rushing to the next destination, you have another complete day to explore areas you may have missed and revisit locations where interesting wildlife was spotted the previous day.
Enjoy an early morning game drive when the wilderness is cool and wildlife activity is high. Your guide can concentrate on your particular interests, whether you're fascinated by big cats, elephants, birds, photography or simply spectacular scenery.
This day comes with bush picnic lunch and deep exploration of Samburu before going back to the lodge.
The slower schedule also creates space to simply enjoy being on your own journey.

Lake Nakuru offers a different environment from Samburu and Ol Pejeta. Explore woodland, grassland and lakeshore habitats while looking for white and black rhinos, Rothschild's giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, waterbucks and numerous bird species.
One of the joys of this itinerary is the changing scenery: within several days, the solo traveler moves from Samburu's dry northern wilderness through Laikipia's conservation country to the lush landscapes of the Rift Valley.

Lake Nakuru to Amboseli- Journey to the Land of Giants
After breakfast, begin the journey toward Amboseli National Park.
This is the longest transfer of the itinerary, so the day should be handled comfortably rather than rushed. Your private guide incorporates planned refreshment, washroom and stretching stops, and additional breaks can be made whenever required.
Continue south toward Amboseli, where the landscape gradually transforms into the wide-open plains for which the park is famous.
Arrive at your selected lodge/camp, receive assistance with check-in and take time to rest after the journey.
Depending on arrival time and energy level, an afternoon game drive can be included or kept optional. The advantage of having the following day entirely dedicated to Amboseli is that there is no pressure to immediately rush back into the safari vehicle.
Settle in for dinner and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of your accommodation.
