Day 1
Depart Nairobi after breakfast for a scenic drive north toward the captivating Samburu National Reserve, a land of rugged beauty and rare wildlife. Journey past lush farmlands, dramatic hills, and the foothills of Mount Kenya, enjoying the ever-changing landscapes of Kenya’s northern frontier. Arrive in time for lunch at your lodge or tented camp before setting out on an afternoon game drive. Explore the reserve’s diverse terrain — from the winding Ewaso Nyiro River to open plains and rocky outcrops — home to elephants, lions, leopards, and the unique Samburu Special Five: the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, Beisa oryx, and gerenuk. As the sun sets over the wilderness, return to your camp for dinner and relaxation amid the tranquil sounds of the African bush.

Day 2
Spend a full day exploring the striking wilderness of Samburu National Reserve, renowned for its dramatic landscapes and rare wildlife species. Begin with an early morning game drive, when the savannah is alive with activity and predators are on the move. Traverse the park’s diverse terrain — from the acacia-dotted plains to the lush banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River — where elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs roam freely. Keep an eye out for the Samburu Special Five: Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, and the elegant gerenuk. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the heart of the park as you soak in the unspoiled beauty and tranquility of this northern gem. Continue your adventure in the afternoon, capturing Samburu’s golden light and rich wildlife scenes before returning to your camp for a relaxing evening under the starlit African sky.

After breakfast, bid farewell to the wild landscapes of Samburu National Reserve and drive south toward the lush highlands of Aberdare National Park. Enjoy scenic views as you travel through rolling hills, fertile farmlands, and rural settlements. Arrive in time for lunch at your lodge nestled within the forested slopes of the Aberdares. In the afternoon, relax or embark on a nature walk to explore the park’s misty woodlands, cascading waterfalls, and rich flora. Aberdare is home to elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and the rare bongo antelope, often seen near waterholes. In the evening, enjoy wildlife viewing from your lodge’s elevated terrace, where animals gather at illuminated salt licks — a truly magical experience in Kenya’s mountain wilderness.

Day 4
Spend the day discovering the enchanting beauty of Aberdare National Park, a mist-covered mountain paradise brimming with wildlife and breathtaking scenery. Begin with a morning game drive through dense forests and open moorlands, where you might spot elephants, buffaloes, giant forest hogs, bushbucks, and even elusive leopards. The park’s high-altitude terrain offers a refreshing contrast to Kenya’s lowland savannahs, featuring dramatic valleys, waterfalls, and cool mountain air. Visit the iconic Chania Falls or Karuru Falls, and enjoy the serene atmosphere that defines this hidden gem. In the afternoon, unwind at your lodge or continue exploring on a guided nature walk, surrounded by towering cedar trees and the melodic calls of forest birds. As dusk falls, gather at the lodge’s waterhole to witness nocturnal wildlife emerge under the soft glow of the floodlights — a perfect ending to your Aberdare adventure.

Ol Pejeta is renowned for its rich wildlife population, including the Big Five, and for being home to the world’s last two northern white rhinos at the Sweetwaters Sanctuary. Visit the Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya where you can see these intelligent primates. As you explore, you’ll encounter elephants, lions, cheetahs, and endangered black rhinos thriving in this protected haven. End your day watching the sunset over Mount Kenya’s snowy peaks before returning to your lodge for dinner and relaxation.

5.0/5After checking with many companies, we chose Josero Tours and Safaris.The company is new, but they were always warm, efficient and professional when helping us design the trip. They replied very quickly and even during the busy season they managed to book us some really nice hotels. Our trip was 10 days, covering several national parks in Kenya and Tanzania with multiple border crossings. The hotels and camps they booked were the best we could get within our budget. Almost every hotel/camp we stayed was better than I expected. During the whole journey, they kept checking in with us every day and were always available to help coordinate. When some unexpected situations came up, they were very active in helping us solve them. I feel they are still gaining experience, but they are full of passion and positivity and definitely will grow into one of the best company. L lot n We are really glad we chose Josero Tours and Safaris. Thank you for helping us make our safari dream come true!

**Unforgettable Last-Minute Safari Perfection with Expert Guide Calleb!** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Booking just one week before departure during peak season, we were initially nervous about availability. But this incredible company delivered beyond expectations – securing perfect lodges despite high demand. Our true highlight was **Calleb, our phenomenal driver-guide**. His decades of field experience shone through every moment: 🔹 **Wildlife Mastery**: He tracked the **complete Big Five** (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, buffalo) with uncanny precision – positioning us safely for breathtaking sightings we’ll cherish forever. 🔹 **Flawless Rhythm**: Calleb’s impeccable timing meant avoiding crowds while arriving *exactly* when animals were most active. His knowledge of animal behavior transformed game drives into living documentaries. 🔹 **Heartwarming Hospitality**: Beyond expertise, his warm-hearted nature made every journey joyful. He patiently answered our endless questions and shared captivating stories about Kenya’s ecosystems. From sunrise in the savannah to sunset cocktails overlooking watering holes, every detail felt magically orchestrated. This wasn’t just a trip – it was a soul-stirring adventure crafted by professionals who genuinely care. To future travelers: If you seek a seamless, awe-inspiring safari with guides who turn hopes into realities – **book here and request Calleb**. Our gratitude to the entire team for creating memories that will truly last a lifetime! *Echo& James, China* *Visited: August 2025*

Once in a life time, you should be here. I would definitely recommend my safari tour from the company Josero Tours and the best guide Roy! They helped me to make an unforgettable memory in Kenya, Josero Tours offered me with very good accommodations, especially Enkorok Mara Camp, I really enjoyed that luxury tent! I was always worrying about the safety, but when I came to Kenya, I found it was safe and sound. I would also thank Henry from Josero Tours for his kindly help. And our best guide Roy, he was very experienced about animals, he took us for a really long game drive from 5 AM to 18 PM to help us watch the pride family lions, elephants, black rhino, leopard and so many charming animals in such a close distance, and he really loved the animals that he would not bother them, we saw the big 5 within 2 days. It's really a fantastic tour, I shall be here again with my friends and family.

The whole team at Josero was great. Another tour operator cancelled a few days before our holiday and with less than 12 hours the Josero team designed and booked us a whole new holiday for our honeymoon. We highly recommend them. Very happy customers from Australia
