SAFARI ITINERARY

12TH & 13TH JULY – DEPART USA/ARRIVAL NAIROBI

Your journey begins as you board your flight from USA en route to Nairobi, Kenya. Arrive Nairobi, the safari capital of East Africa, where you will be welcomed by Classic Journeys Customer representative who will assist you with your transfer to your hotel for check-in. He will brief you of your program and introduce you to your tour driver who will be with you throughout the safari. After check-in to your hotel, he will leave you with his mobile number and an emergency number for your attention through your safari. Have lunch at a local restaurant and continue to the AFEW Nature Centre near Giraffe Manor where you may hand-feed the Rothschild giraffes that live here. The giraffes were brought here by Jock and Betty Leslie-Melville, who founded AFEW (African Fund for Endangered Wildlife) and built the Nature centre to help educate young African children about wildlife conservation. The Rothschild giraffes are the tallest species and may reach eighteen feet in height, but you can see eye to eye with them on the elevated walkway at the centre. Later proceed to your hotel for dinner and overnight. Overnight: Tamarind Tree Hotel Meals: BLD

14TH JULY – NAIROBI EXCURSION

After a briefing about the wonderful events ahead, get set for an exciting adventure as you visit Daphne Sheldrick’s Elephant Orphanage at the edge of Nairobi National Park, which is a nursery and rehab centre for infant elephants that have lost their families. The wife of the famous naturalist David Sheldrick, Daphne dedicated her life to the conservation. David was founder Warden of Kenya’s giant Tsavo East National Park, in which he served from 1948 until his death in 1976. Daphne continued her involvement and had real impact on the lives of elephants and rhinos, which would have normally died due to human poaching and surrounding population conflict. You will enjoy a visit with the elephants as they’re brought by their keepers to the waterholes and salt lick to be fed and socialize – see how they roll in the mud, play fight and their affectionate interaction with their keepers. The staff will be on hand to discuss their habitats, as well as impart interesting facts about their upkeep. Their infants are eventually released into the wild at Tsavo East National Park and end up in the care of other orphans who have been successfully reintroduced to the wild.
Lunch will be at an outdoor restaurant. Continue to the Karen Blixen House, the former house of the Danish Baronness, Karen Blixen (1885-1962) author of the book “Out of Africa.” Karen lived in this green residential area from 1914 to 1931 when she left permanently for Denmark. The house was built in 1910 and when Ms. Blixen bought the property, it had 6,000 acres of land but only 600 acres were developed for growing coffee; the rest was retained under natural forest. The house was bought by the Danish Government which offered it back to Kenya in 1963. In 1986, the house, formerly used as a school was transformed to a Nation- al Museum. Much of the original furniture is on display in the house and most objects were either used by Karen herself or for the shooting of the film. You will also visit Kobe Beads and Collectors Den for souvenir shopping. Tonight, a welcome dinner will be prepared for you at the famous Carnivore Restaurant. Overnight at your hotel; Tamarind Tree Hotel Meals: BLD

15TH, 16TH & 17TH JULY – TSAVO WEST NATIONAL PARK

Begin your safari with a drive to Tsavo West famous for the Mzima Springs. This star attraction is a pool of natural water with underwater viewing hides for observing hippos where a gushing supply of fresh, crystal water has created an oasis for wildlife. A specially constructed underwater observatory provides visitors with a unique view into the underwater world of Mzima. The water catchment is divided into two pools; here you can view hippos and crocodiles. The upper pool is occupied by the hippos and lower pool by the crocodiles. The first lodge ever to be built in a Kenyan National Park, Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge is superbly situated in the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro, encircledby volcanic splendour, adjacent to a teeming waterhole and daily visited by vast herds of elephants, buffalo and plains animals with the finest watering hole in East Africa. Inspirationally positioned so that not only all the rooms but also the open-air restaurant, timbered viewing decks and rock-built bar enjoy uninterrupted views of the legendary snows of Kilimanjaro, the lodge also stands central to miles of lion-stalked grasslands, elephant-studded plains and wildlife-teeming bush and is ideally placed for visits to all the park’s prime attractions. Faced in volcanic stone and utilising the natural rocky outcrops of a valley known as ‘the place of the young rhino’, from which it takes its name, the lodge has been designed to blend chameleon-like into the savannah landscape. Cool, tranquil and hushed for optimum wildlife-viewing, the open-air dining area, timbered decks and rock-hewn bar blend the traditional “Khaki and-canvas” look with bright-painted banners, sepia-hued paintings and evocative olive-wood carvings of elephant herds and tail-erect warthogs. The elegantly renovated rooms draw on a sun-gold, sky-blue and bush-green savannah colour palette and have been so styled to provide world-class luxury and a quintessential African aura while featuring private verandahs with views of eternity.

18TH, 19TH & 20TH JULY – AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK

Today’s drive takes you to Amboseli National Park located at the foot of Africa’s highest mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro, which Ted climbed in 1972. The snow-capped peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro rises above a blanket of clouds and dominates every aspect of Amboseli. This park only covers 150sq miles but despite its small size and its fragile ecosystem, it supports a wide range of mammals (well over 50 of the larger species) and birds (over 400 species). Years ago, this was the locale around which such famous writers as Ernest Hemingway and Robert Ruark spun their stories of big game hunting in the wilds of Africa. This too, is part of Masai land, and it’s not unusual to see the proud Masai warrior or small children tending their cattle as you traverse their territory. In this land, animals and man have learned to coexist and thrive together, despite the harsh conditions. This is also the park that has been made famous by Cynthia Moss, the noted American naturalist and author who has one of the longest-running studies on elephants. In the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro, beside a copse of giant acacia trees and gently flowing natural springs, stands Amboseli Serena Lodge. With Kilimanjaro’s 19,340-foot snowcapped summit presiding over the landscape, the setting is unrivalled. All around the lodge roams the wildlife that has made East Africa legendary; lion, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe, baboon, gazelle, zebra and wildebeest. Influenced by native Masai architecture, the lodge is in perfect harmony with its environment. Beautifully landscaped gardens, unique guest services and exceptional amenities enhance the distinctive ambience. The uniquely constructed guest rooms with en-suite bathrooms, individually appointed with authentic African art painted by renowned local artists, convey a distinctive Masai manyatta mood. Grouped in the manner of Masai Village, each room enjoys a view of either majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro or the expansive Amboseli plains, which are home to herds of elephants that feed on the large, feathery acacia trees. While here, you will have the chance to learn about the Masai way of life and how they have co-existed through the millennia with the wildlife. Overnight : Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge Meals : BLD

21ST, 22ND & 23RD JULY – MASAI MARA /NORTHERN SERENGETI

This morning board your scheduled flight to Masai Mara, Kenya’s most famous wildlife reserve and the setting for much of the film “Out of Africa,” It is classic savannah grasslands, where animals are plentiful and the vistas spectacular. Here, Masai tend their cattle in concert with free roaming wildlife – all sharing the same land. You will have 3-4 days of wildlife-viewing opportunities in the Masai Mara Reserve, also known as the “Jewel of Africa” inhabited by many of Africa’s most popular wild animals, including lion, cheetah, elephant, leopard, black rhino, and hippo. There are over 500 resident species of birds in the park including ostrich, larks and sunbirds as well as the lovely Lilac-breasted roller. The area is famous for rolling grassland and for the Mara River, which runs through the reserve from north to south. The reserve covers an area of 700sq miles and forms part of the Serengeti ecosystem, hosting the world-famous spectacle of the annual migration of up to two million wildebeest, thousands of zebras and an escort of carnivores as they follow the rains and succulent new grass.
A costly trek as many of the lame, laggard and sick will fall prey to ravenous packs of predators and many more will die crossing the swirling flood waters of the Mara river. You will be in the Mara during prime time for the migration and you are likely to have a front-row seat as it unfolds right in front of your eyes! Optional activities at an additional cost while you are in the Masai Mara include a balloon safari for an exhilarating experience over the Savannah as the early sun rises and the animals are more active. If you wish, for a nominal fee, you can also visit a Masai village. While in the Mara a hippo pool breakfast is included, where you can enjoy a full breakfast and be in tune with nature. The Mara Serena Safari Lodge is an interpretation of a traditional Masai manyatta village of domed huts. Accommodation is offered in 73 guest-rooms, all of which have been styled to mirror the circular motif of a traditional Masai manyatta village of domed huts. The wide-spaced and secluded rooms have been individually styled in exuberant bush colours and feature large spacious en-suite bathrooms. Overnight : Mara Serena Safari Lodge Meals : BLD

KENYA WEATHER, CLIMATE & BEST TIMES TO TRAVEL

KENYA Weather & Climate

Kenya lies on the equator and has a pleasant, tropical climate, but there are large regional climatic variations influenced by several factors, including altitude. Temperatures drop by about 6°C for every 1,000m you climb (or 3.5°F per 1,000ft). Kenya’s daytime temperatures average between 20°C/68°F and 28°C/82°F, but it is warmer on the coast. The coast is hot and humid all year round, but the heat is tempered by the monsoon winds. Kenya is too close to the equator to experience a real winter and summer. There is, however, both a dry and wet season.

Dry season – June to October

June, July, August, September & October – These are the coolest but comfortable months. Temperatures vary significantly per region and because of their difference in altitude. Daytime temperatures are usually around 23°C/ 73°F at higher altitudes, such as the Masai Mara, and 28°C/82°F at lower altitudes, such as the coastal areas. During the dry season, the sky is clear and days are sunny. Early morning temperatures at higher altitude are typically 10°C/ 50°F. It is advisable to pack warm clothing, as morning game drives will be cold. There is very little rain in most of the country, so these are the least humid months, making it the best time to stay at one of Kenya’s beautiful beaches and national parks for wildlife viewing. • Wildlife is easier to spot because the bush is less dense and animals gather around waterholes and rivers • It’s unlikely to rain, the days are sunny with clear skies, and there are fewer mosquitoes • July to October are the best months to see the wildebeest migration

Wet season – November to May

Merits of visiting during this season During the wet season daytime temperatures are between 24°C/75°F and 27°C/81°F at higher altitudes. At lower altitudes daytime temperatures are more consistent and hover around 30°C/86°F. Mornings stay cool at higher altitudes, and it is advisable to pack warm clothes for early morning game drives. From December to April, the humidity is intense in Tsavo and the coastal areas. • November & December – ‘Short rains’: A period of unpredictable, short rains between November and December that lasts about a month. The rain is sometimes heavy, but mostly falls in the late afternoon or evening, and will seldom have a negative impact on your safari. • January & February – During these months, a dry spell in the rainy season occurs with less rainfall. How long the spell lasts and when it takes place exactly is unpredictable. • March, April & May – ‘Long rains’: These months get the most rain, and there can be a downpour on a daily basis, although it seldom lasts the whole day. It’s very cloudy, especially in the highlands, including Aberdares National Park and Laikipia Plateau. Humidity is higher and will be particularly noticeable in the coastal regions.

Merits of wet season

• The scenery is beautiful and green • Rates drop because it’s the low season • Newborn animals can be seen, and in general, you will still see plenty of wildlife • Migratory birds are present from September to April • Except for March, April and May, rains are short showers in the afternoon or evening and will rarely compromise your safari
