Samburu to Nairobi

Samburu to Nairobi

Breakfast will be served as from 0630 hrs. Depart by 0730 hrs and drive back to Nairobi arriving in the early afternoon at Carnivore Restaurant where farewell lunch today will be served. The Carnivore is justifiably referred to as Africa’s Greatest Eating Experience. Twice voted amongst the world’s 50 best restaurants by UK based Restaurant magazine, the Carnivore is an amazing open-air meat specialty restaurant that has strikingly different food service and atmosphere to any other restaurant in Kenya. Whole joints of meat - legs of lamb and pork, haunches of exotic meat, rumps of beef, sirloins, racks of lamb, spare ribs, sausages, chicken wings, skewered kidneys, even crocodile, and other tasty morsels - are roasted on traditional Maasai swords over a huge, visually spectacular charcoal pit that dominates the entrance of the restaurant. Thereafter, drop off at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in time for your flight.
