All about Africa Travel

Samburu is one of the lesser known game reserves of Kenya, but well worth the visit. On the banks of a river, there is plenty of trees and water to attract animals from far and wide. As with the rest of Kenya, anywhere you find an abundance of animals, you will find predators not too far behind.

The beauty of Samburu's lesser known reputation is the lack of crowds making for a more intimate game experience than some other parks offer.

Soaring mountain ranges give way to plummeting valleys as streams cascade over waterfalls, making Aberdares National Park a landscape lovers paradise. With over 250 species of bird, it is also a haven for bird watching enthusiasts.

Located in the heart of Aberdares National Park, The Ark is known as a "tree hotel", built on pylons in such a way as not to disturb the animals around the waterhole. Its three decks provide superb vantage points for game viewing around the floodlit waterhole.

Can you truly say you have been to Egypt if you haven't ridden a camel?!? Find out for yourself on an afternoon Camel Safari through the desert, and finish the day with an authentic taste of Bedouin tea. You also have the option of dining on a Bedouin dinner including the unique bread.

Whether this is your first, second or twentieth time riding a camel, it is sure to be an experience not easily forgotten. The one humped Dromedary Camel is an animal well adapted to the harsh Egyptian deserts and will be a trusty vehicle on your safari, though maybe not the most comfortable!

After your camel ride (approximately 1 hour) you can sample Bedouin tea with Habak, and you have the option to indulge in an authentic Bedouin dinner, including the unique Bedouin bread.
