This is the life: a fortnight of first-rate wildlife viewing in two distinctive reserves, followed by a beach vacation in the Seychelles before returning home. You might be excused for believing you’ve found heaven after spending time in Kenya’s Samburu National Reserve and Olare Motorogi Conservancy, followed by the peerless island of Mahé.
From the dry, stony ledges of Samburu and the undulating plains of Olare Motorogi to the exquisite appeal of Hemingways Nairobi, where you will eat Michelin-star cuisine in a Hollywood-themed restaurant, there is a certain magic and amazement at each stop. Discover the endemic Samburu Special 5—the Beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, gerenuk antelope, and Somali ostrich—and take in the extraordinary wildness of East Africa’s constant rhythms.
