After breakfast we  kick start our photography safari by heading North  to Samburu Game Reserve arriving in time for a late lunch. In the afternoon we embark on our first game drive.  Samburu is fiercely beautiful with its arid Savannah watered by the lovely Uaso Nyiro River. It is also one of Kenya’s most protected areas and home to species only found north part of the equator, from the reticulated giraffe to zebras and Beisa Oryxes. Overnight will be at Larsens Camp surrounded by pristine wilderness and overlooking the river which attracts a broad range of wildlife including elephants which come to the water to drink.

After enjoying a hearty breakfast from our tent’s verandah, we set off to explore Samburu Game Reserve. This park is renowned for its variety of wildlife species which have adapted amazingly well to the harsh and hot climate of the area. The unique species include the Reticulated Giraffe, Grevy’s Zebra, Gerenuk, Beisa Oryx, and the Somali Ostrich. Overnight stay is at Larsens Camp.

Today is another day to explore the grasslands and acacia woodlands of Samburu. We only return to the lodge for lunch. At this time the temperatures hit their peak and the animals look for shade under the trees. Samburu National Reserve covers 104 square kilometers and the Ololokwe Table Mountain forms a dramatic backdrop towards the north. Today we’ll be in pursuit of the elephants, buffaloes, lions and leopards that reside here.  Dinner and overnight stay will be once again at Larsens Camp.

Today is our last day in Samburu. After breakfast, we will have a short game drive enroute to Nanyuki. We will have lunch at Trout Tree Restaurant before proceeding to Laikipia Wilderness Camp which is our final destination. The Laikipia area is home to some of the continent’s most sought-after wildlife species, including Leopard, African Wild Dog, Reticulated Giraffe and Grevy’s Zebra. And of course, recently, the truly stunning “Black” Leopard, which has made Laikipia Wilderness Camp famous! Dinner and overnight stay at Laikipia Wilderness Camp.

The wildlife in Laikipia is extraordinary. The area is still wild and largely unfenced, which enables game to move around the landscape, following the rains. The area is home to a huge variety, from Lions to Dik-dik. It has become a stronghold for the more unusual species including more than 70 percent of the world’s remaining Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, zorilla, striped hyena, aardwolf, wild dog, and melanistic leopard. Large permanent herds of elephant, lion, leopard, spotted hyena, common zebra, warthog, hippo, buffalo, and many different antelope species. Our guide will help identify and enjoy the plentiful (recorded 350) species of birds’ reference bird list. We can either decide to do morning and afternoon game drives with lunch at the Camp. All meals and overnight will again be at Laikipia Wilderness Camp.

Our time here in Laikipia will be flexible when it comes to game drives. As early morning, dusk and the first few hours of dark are considered the optimum time to search for leopard, we will embark on morning and afternoon drive and stay out with the aim of being back in camp around 20h00.Originally captured on camera by Will Burrard Lucas in 2019, Laikipia has become famous for sightings of black leopards. These melanistic cats are extremely rare but have been sighted at the Camp. One female cub was born and raised less than 100m from camp. She is seen fairly regularly and is especially relaxed around vehicles which provides us with the most impressive sightings. Our tracker will be useful in pointing out areas where the leopard is occasionally seen. Photographing the elusive leopard in limited light may be a technical challenge, but we have the opportunity to capture her in a variety of situations and experiment with different lighting techniques with the spotlight.
