Day 1 Leave US For Nairobi
Day 2 arrive Nairobi. Overnight in Nairobi.
Day 3 Transfer to Samburu National Reserve - Flight on Air Kenya
Day 3-6 Elephant Hill Camp. A unique place. Pricey but I feel it is
worth it for the experience.
Day 6 Morning (Transfer back to Nairobi on return Air Kenya flight)
Day 6 -7 Two nights at Lake Nakura
Day 8 Morning - Drive to Masa Marai
Day 8 - 4-5 nights in the Masa Marai area. I'd like to work the whole
triangle if possible.Perhaps 2 nights in two separate lodges.
Day 13 - Morning Game drive - Transfer to Nairobi. Evening flight home
to US

Joel,

sounds excellent to me. Also the idea to change lodges in Masai
Mara for a total of 5 nights is not bad.

I don't know the Elephant Hill Camp, but usually you get what
you pay for.

Hans Georg,
I think Joel means Elephant Watch camp? It is run by Iain and Oria
Douglas Hamilton. They have the Save the Elephant project at Samburu.
It certainly is pricey Joel but of course they are the elephant
experts. We found Samburu lodge to be well run.
