3 nights Solio Ranch, Samburu and Buffalo Springs Safari

3 NIGHTS SOLIO RANCH, SAMBURU AND BUFFALO SPRINGS SAFARI

Samburu and Buffalo Springs Safari

DAY 1: SOLIO RANCH AND GAME RESERVE – RHINOS, RHINOS AND MORE RHINOS

Solio Ranch and Game Reserve will be our first destination on the 3 nights Solio Ranch, Samburu and Buffalo Springs Safari. Solio Ranch and Game Reserve is located within the vast Laikipia region. Solio Ranch (45,000 acres) is an amazing savannah nestled between Mt. Kenya and Aberdare Ranges; and both mountains are clearly visible from Solio on clear days. This ranch hosts a combination of both savannah woodlands and savannah grasslands, forming a scenic mosaic of wildlife habitats. The riverine vegetation meandering through the plains provides a great habitat for mammals to rest off and refresh in the cool Laikipia waters.

Solio Game Reserve, set up in 1970, is an amazing 19,000 acres allocated for the protection of rhinos. Both Black Rhinos and White Rhinos interact harmoniously in this great place. Solio ranch has the largest population of White Rhinos in the entire World. The rhinos bred here are often translocated into other conservation areas across the African continent. Other mammals here include African Lion, Spotted Hyena, Common Impala, Leopard, Cheetah and Cape Buffalo.

Highlight birds here include African Crowned Eagle, Grey Crowned Crane, White-bellied Bustard and Long-tailed Widowbird.

DAY 2 AND 3: SAMBURU AND BUFFALO SPRINGS NATIONAL RESERVES – THE SPECIAL 5 ANIMALS

This spectacular place hosts some very unique wildlife such as the Beisa Oryx, Gerenuk, Grevy’s Zebra and Reticulated Giraffe; most of which are not easy to find south of the Equator. We shall also explore the neighbouring Buffalo Springs National Reserve. This area is home to the Samburu tribe, and the neighbouring Turkana tribe.

The mighty Ewaso Ng’iro North River meanders its way across these reserves giving life to this beautiful land – a beautiful scene on our 3 nights Solio Ranch, Samburu and Buffalo Springs Safari. Local Doum Palms tangle their branches in the sky as if waving at the people, and provide the landscape with a beautiful touch. Enjoy time in Samburu and Buffalo Springs tracking the local elephants and other members of the Big 5 on your safari drives.

Nights in Samburu.

DAY 4: SAMBURU TO NAIROBI

On this day, we shall enjoy a morning game drive in Samburu. We shall then head to Nairobi, cruising across the beautiful countryside.

Later, we head to the airport; marking the end to our lovely 3 nights Solio Ranch, Samburu and Buffalo Springs Safari.
