Stretch your legs with a good brisk walk along the river, watching out for thirsty wild creatures, and then back to camp for a most delicious meal.

Leaving Nairobi, set off on safari, by schedule flight north past the massive peaks of Mt. Kenya to the drier little-inhabited bush country beyond. In the afternoon we would arrive in Shaba Game Reserve where a private tented camp will have been set up ready for you in an idyllic spot beside the Uaso Nyiro river. Three full days are spent here photographing the varied wildlife. Shaba is well known for its elephant and many northern game species such as Beisa oryx, Grevy zebra, kudu, gerenuk and reticulated giraffe. Most big predators including lion can be seen in Shaba, but the biggest challenge is to spot the rare striped hyaena. 
Leaving in the morning, we will drive out of the rift valley and we will take you over the exquisitely green rolling hills of the tea growing district before reaching the vast rolling plains of Masailand. Arriving here amidst the endless herds of game for which the Mara is famous. This is where you will re-join your camp (the staff having packed up the many tons of equipment, loaded it onto the lorry and moved it a few hundred miles over the preceding couple of days). Here the game viewing is always amazing and the chance of seeing a big cat in action is good. Patience is often rewarded with the incredible sight of lions springing from cover onto their prey or a cheetah racing along (at sixty mph.) hard on the heels of a fleet-footed gazelle. Sharp-eyed spotters on the roof of each vehicle increase the chance of such sightings. Amongst these teeming numbers of buffalo, topi, zebra, and gazelle are the Masai with their great herds of cattle. Evening walks beside our rocky stream are filled with the sounds and smells of Africa; scampering baboons and the loud snorting of impala, the thrill of getting close to elephant on foot and listening to their gentle rumblings. End each day with a fine dinner and pleasant stories by the fireside and then to bed with the roar of lions.
