Day 03 Visit to Reteti Elephant Sanctuary

Begin your day with a nourishing breakfast and set out for an unforgettable safari adventure to Reteti Elephant Sanctuary. This remarkable sanctuary holds a special mission: to rehabilitate orphaned and abandoned elephant calves, facilitating their successful reintroduction into the wild herds of Northern Kenya.

Part of a larger movement gaining momentum in the region, the sanctuary champions conservation-oriented approaches while fostering new economies and enhancing livelihoods within the community.

The separation of young elephants from their families often arises from factors like drought, human-made wells, human-animal conflict, and natural mortality. In response to community needs, the Sanctuary was established to address these challenges.

In the afternoon, enjoy a leisurely picnic lunch amidst the sanctuary's serene surroundings, followed by an opportunity to feed and interact with the elephants.

Situated east of Samburu National Park and north of the Ewaso Nyiro River, this unique 130-square-kilometer reserve resides in Kenya's rugged and seldom-explored Northern Frontier Province.

As you journey towards the park, keep watch for glimpses of Samburu herders guiding cattle through the thorn bush or camels quenching their thirst in the river. The Ewaso Nyiro River serves as a vital lifeline for the region, nurturing abundant wildlife including giraffes, zebras, oryx, ostriches, and gerenuks.

After a satisfying lunch, venture into a Samburu village for an insightful afternoon exploring their rich culture and traditions. Don't miss the opportunity to acquire a cherished souvenir from the locals' diverse collection of handicrafts.

As the day winds down, return to Sabache camp for a delicious dinner and a peaceful overnight stay, relishing the memories of your remarkable day amidst Kenya's unspoiled wilderness.

Day 05 Explore and Camp at Mount Ololokwe

Start your day bright and early as you embark on the journey to Mt. Ololokwe, ensuring you're equipped with the necessary hiking and camping gear for the adventure ahead.

Mt. Ololokwe offers an ideal terrain for both seasoned mountaineers and novice hikers alike. Renowned for its distinct table rock formation, it has emerged as a favored destination for picnics, camping excursions, and sightseeing, boasting unique wildlife and cultural attributes.

Enthusiastic bird-watchers flock to the area to marvel at its diverse avian life. The exploration of caves adds another layer of intrigue to the experience, with visitors uncovering ancient ceremonial warrior caves adorned with traditional cave art, alongside virgin cycad forests and rare medicinal plants.

The mountain holds profound significance within the local community, deeply rooted in folklore and spiritual beliefs, evident in its remarkable rock formations such as the revered "eye of God." Pause for a scenic picnic lunch at the summit, before concluding the day with a memorable bush dinner illuminated by a crackling campfire, culminating in a night of camping beneath the twinkling stars.
