From Peaks to Plains: Conquer Mt Kenya & Roam the Wilds of Samburu
This is the ultimate Kenyan adventure — a journey that begins among glaciers and alpine forests, and ends in sun-drenched savannahs teeming with wildlife. The Mt Kenya Climb & Samburu Wildlife Safari is not just a holiday; it’s a rite of passage for those who crave both the thrill of summiting Africa’s second-highest peak and the magic of an untamed safari experience.
Your adventure begins with the crisp, invigorating air of Mt Kenya. As you ascend through montane forests filled with giant bamboo and rare birdlife, the landscape transforms dramatically. From lush moorlands to rocky alpine zones, every step brings new vistas, a deeper connection with nature, and a test of your endurance. The final push to Point Lenana — the mountain’s most accessible summit — rewards you with a sunrise you’ll never forget. It’s a moment of silence, reflection, and achievement, with clouds beneath your feet and the peaks bathed in golden light.
But the journey doesn’t end there. After descending from the mountains, your soul is still roaring for adventure — and Samburu delivers. Located in Kenya’s northern frontier, Samburu National Reserve is wild, raw, and beautiful in a way few places are. This is the land of elephants, lions, and the rare “Samburu Five” — Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, Beisa oryx, and gerenuk.
Game drives here are an exploration of contrasts: dusty riverbeds lined with doum palms, crocodile-laden waters of the Ewaso Nyiro River, and predator-rich plains glowing under the African sun. And in between, you’ll encounter Samburu warriors, whose rich culture and deep connection with the land add another layer of meaning to your journey.
This is Kenya in high definition — the highs of mountain conquest and the wonders of the wild. One trip. Two unforgettable worlds.
