Our driver guide picks us after breakfast with a safari vehicle and head north out of the capital, Nairobi. There is a lot to see during the approximately four-hour drive: colorful markets, fields and in good weather soon the outline of the mighty Mount Kenya appear. At 5,199m, it is the second highest mountain in Africa. Just before our destination at the foot of Mount Kenya, we take a short photo stop at the equator. Lunch will be served at the elegant Colonial style property, located in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a wildlife sanctuary. In the afternoon we take the first game drive. The Ol Pejeta Wildlife Sanctuary is world famous, especially because it hosts the only two female African white rhinos living in the world!

In addition, there are also rare wild animals, such as Grvyzebras, wild dogs, Jackson's hartebeest or Beisa Oryx antelope. Here we will get an interesting insight into the work of conservation projects, such as the conservation of rhinos and a rescue station for chimpanzees from West and Central Africa. All in a wonderful landscape - between the mountain range of Mount Kenya on one side and on the other side the wooded slopes of the Aberdare Mountains!

Day 6 Scenic flight via Suguta Valley to Desert Rose

After breakfast we take off with a helicopter towards North. Out of the hilly region of Samburu, fly northwest to the Great Rift Valley. What an experience to experience Kenya from above! Before we go to Lake Turkana, we make stopovers. Particularly impressive is the stop in the Suguta Valley: the desert landscape is characterized by lava fields and volcanic cones here. Once at the huge Turkana sea, it is time for a picnic lunch on the beach - to the horizon, the water surface extends to a length of 250km and almost 50km wide. The lake is surrounded by volcanoes, the landscape is very barren and impressive. There are more than 60 species of fish in the lake and the Turkana people live from fishing. The three national parks on Lake Turkana are since 1997 a World Heritage Site. Particularly interesting about Turkana  is from a paleontological point of view, since remains were found here proving that there was already human life here 2 million years ago.

Today's destination is to an exceptional and very small lodge south of Lake Turkana, built with incredible attention to detail on the slopes of Mount Nyiru, the Desert Rose Lodge.  Enjoy this truly unique place to the full!

Accommodation: Desert Rose

Karen Blixen, better known under her pseudonym Tania Blixen, was a Danish writer who ran a coffee farm in Kenya for 17 years. Her life was filmed in the film, Beyond Africa with Meryl Streep. The farmhouse is one of the original locations of this film.

Afterwards, we visit the nearby Giraffe Center. To protect the endangered Rothschild giraffe, this place was created. On a platform you have the opportunity to go to "eye level" with these proud giants.
