Here you will meet with the pilot of your private charter who will fly you directly to the Chyulu Hills. The flight is approximately 45 minutes. On arrival, you will be met by a driver-guide and taken to the lodge. Ol Donyo Wuas is situated on the slopes of the Chyulu Hills, with exclusive access to a quarter of a million acres of one of the few remaining wilderness areas of East Africa. The open plains, rolling Chyulu Hills and snow capped peak of Kilimanjaro invoke images of Africa as it was in the earlier part of the last century; wildlife and Maasai herdsman living as nature determined they should in this unspoilt corner of Kenya. Shared game drives in open Land Rovers with knowledgeable guides, both during the day and at night. Game walks with an experienced guide on the spectacular open plains, in the Acacia woodland and the volcanic hills. Horse riding for both experienced riders and novices. Bush Breakfasts and Bush Dinners, visits to the Maasailand Preservation Trust Projects or a dip in the Horizon swimming pool looking out to Mt Kilimanjaro are some of the activities on offer.

Activities include day and night game drives, guided bush walks, bush meals, sundowners, fishing, a dip in the swimming pool or for the more adventurous, a cool refreshing dip in the effervescent river right below the lodge.

Day 5– Laikipia, Sabuk Camel Safari, Fly camping
After an early breakfast the Samburu Warriors prepare their camel train for your trek taking you through this stunning terrain up and over the gentle hills of Sabuk. The trek can be designed to be as easy or tough as you wish. Your days will be spent trekking through the bush with a team ahead of you preparing surprises along the way. At the end of a long and exhilarating day you will walk into camp where a delicious meal has been prepared for you and tents have been assembled for a well deserved rest. The next morning you will continue on your adventure through the un-spoilt wilderness with its natural inhabitants.

Day 7– Laikipia, Koija Starbeds
Continuing with an early walk and bush breakfast you will be taken to the Koija star beds where your Samburu Warrior hosts will be waiting for you. Located on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River, the Star beds are cantilevered over the flowing river below and are reached by footbridge from the opposite bank. Each Star Bed is a dramatically designed, handcrafted wooden raised platform, and partially covered with a thatched roof. Homemade ‘Mukokoteni’ (uniquely designed bed on wheels’), can either be wheeled onto the open deck area for a night under the stars, or left under the shelter of the roof.
