Park and Game Reserve Descriptions

SOLIO GAME RESERVE: Tucked in the valley between the lofty slopes of Mount Kenya and the peaks of the Aberdare Mountains lies the private Solio Game Reserve, which is internationally recognized as the most successful private Rhino Breeding reserve in Kenya. Besides the world’s largest population of white rhinos and nearly one hundred black rhinos, sightings of up to 40 Rhinos at a time are not uncommon. The wildlife experience is exclusive, with 19,000 acres of conservancy surrounded by 45,000 acres of ranch. Although our focus will be on the Rhinos, the reserve is inhabited by Buffalo, Zebra, Giraffe, Oryx, antelope, lion, cheetah, and leopard. 

SAMBURU - Crossing the equator opens a magical new world! Filled with large, iconic umbrella acacia trees in a stunning, arid environment among the rich, red African soil, Samburu Reserve evokes the traditional vision of “I Dream of Africa.” As the wind blows through the stunning doom palms, one knows they are in a magical place. Roaming through this primal land and unique to this reserve are the Maneless Lions, rare and exotic Grevy’s Zebras, red soil–stained red Elephants, Reticulated Giraffes, Oryx, and Somali Ostrich. In the stillness of what seems like an empty land, one might hear the rustle of the brush as a Cheetah or Leopard makes itself known. In stark contrast to this dry, neutral landscape, wander the vivid, semi-nomadic, colorful Samburu tribe. 

MASAI MARA - Widely regarded as the wildlife mecca of the world, the Maasai Mara stands as one of the most extraordinary wildlife reserves on the planet. Its sweeping open plains are teeming with life, hosting an incredible array of species, including large prides of Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards, Elephants, Black Rhinos, Hippos, Maasai Giraffes, Common Zebras, Wildebeests, Impalas, Thomson’s and Grant’s Gazelles, Topi, Hartebeests, Black-Backed Jackals, Spotted Hyenas, and more. Renowned as a premier destination for big cat sightings, it is where the iconic *Big Cat Diaries* was filmed and where wildlife documentaries continue to capture its unparalleled beauty.

Originally part of the Maasai tribe when they first came down the Nile River, the Samburu split off when the Maasai continued their journey south to Tanzania. The Samburu name means the butterfly people; they not only flew off from their original tribe, but they also became more colorful in their traditional dress.

You will visit their authentic manyattas (homesteads) and discover the intricate craftsmanship behind Samburu beadwork and tools.  You will then spend an incredible evening, on top of the hills, with the warriors, witnessing captivating traditional dances, rhythmic songs, and time-honored ceremonial rituals. Includes village visit, food donations, and special evening with the warriors. Cost is USD $ 90 per person.

The serene flight provides an unforgettable perspective of the Mara’s beauty before landing for a Champagne bush breakfast.

Your hot air balloon adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from your lodge You’ll be driven to the launch site, where you can watch the balloons being prepared for flight. After meeting your pilot for a safety briefing, you’ll board the basket just before sunrise. The flight lasts about an hour, drifting peacefully over the Mara 

before gently touching down. Once landed, you’ll observe the balloon being deflated before heading to a scenic bush breakfast, your guides will take you on a game drive to continue exploring the wonders of the Maasai Mara.
