A tight bunch of plains zebra standing head to tail and flank to flank, filling the frame. 6 Days
  • Duration 6 Days

This is the operator’s northern-Kenya trip, and the selling point is walking rather than driving. Two of the six days are spent on foot with armed rangers and trackers approaching black and white rhino across private Laikipia conservancy land, with night drives added for the nocturnal species. The second half moves to Samburu on the Ewaso Ng’iro for the arid-country wildlife the north is known for, including reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, beisa oryx and gerenuk. Ancient Africa lists internal flights on both legs, a private guide, exclusive conservancy camps and the rhino conservation levies as part of the price.

Overview
