KENYA - Uncharted Frontiers

Itinerary Highlights

DAY 1 - Nairobi
Arrive and transfer to the historic Norfolk Hotel for your welcome dinner and overnight.

DAY 2 - Lewa Downs / Laikipia
Fly into the bush at Lewa Downs, then transfer by vehicle to Borana Lodge, your base for the next three days.

DAYS 3 - 4 - The Northern Frontier District
Explore the district's contrasting ecosystems in equally diverse manners. Trek or ride horses, with opportunities to see elephants, black rhinos, lions, hyenas and leopards. One day cycle on a mountain bike 10,000 feet down Mount Kenya, eventually rolling onto the semi-desert, where you cool off in the river. Another morning you board an open-cockpit two-passenger WACO bi-plane, for a nostalgic flight over Kenya's breathtaking landscape.

DAYS 5 - 6 - Walking Safari into Wild Tribal Lands
Head by vehicle to the Nandanguru Plain, where you meet your guide and Kerukki tribesmen and begin trekking through the Northern Frontier tribal lands, with camp moving daily via pack camels and with rifle support.

Days 7 - 8 - Tassia Lodge
Owned and run by local Maasai, this remote lodge faces the sacred Mount Lolokwe. Trek through the Mokogodo Forest, explore the bush, and swim under the waterfalls.

DAYS 9 - 10 - Tassia / Chalbi Desert / Mount Nyiru / Suguta / Nanyuki
Board the world's quietest helicopter and fly to Desert Rose for mountain hiking, swimming and overnight. In the morning, helicopter into the Great Rift and Suguta Valleys, one of the world's most savagely beautiful areas, including crocodile-filled Lake Turkana and Lake Logipi, which is pink with flamingoes.

DAY 11 - Nanyuki / Nairobi
Helicopter to Nanyuki for the scheduled flight to Nairobi. Transfer to the airport for flights home.
