Day 1: Nairobi After a 1 hour 15 minute flight, you will land in the desert wilderness of Buffalo Springs, where one of our four-wheel drive vehicles will be waiting to drive you to Samburu Intrepids tented camp. After checking into your riverside tent, you'll have lunch and a short siesta before heading back for the plains - and a variety of close encounters with Samburu's unique and endangered wildlife. Samburu is famous as being home to the rare 'northern species' of Beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, Somali ostrich and the graceful giraffe-necked generuk antelope. Our qualified team of naturalists are assisted by a highly trained children's animator, who is responsible for the care and wellbeing of younger Adventurers. The Adventurers' Club is dedicated to providing a lasting natural education for teenagers and school groups allowing the adults to enjoy their holiday too! For families, we've a range of thrilling activities, including camel walks, treks up sacred Mount Ololokwe and trips to neighbouring Samburu communities, where the pastoralist way of life has remained unchanged for centuries. Landing at our own airstrip, we'll take you straight to the lodge for lunch, followed by an afternoon at leisure on the links of Kenya's most spectacular championship golf course, playing tennis, or lounging by one of the world's most panoramic swimming pools. These two days offer a host of unique activities centred on the string of lakes that line the Rift Valley - Nakuru, Elementeita, Bogoria and Baringo - home to bubbling steam vents, kudu and other antelope, and the greatest diversity of waterbirds on the planet. Closer to home, there are horseback trails through the ancient Eburu Forest, you can walk among the game of the protected sanctuaries at Hell's Gate and Crater Lake, or fish for bass among the hippos and otters on Lake Naivasha. For history buffs, there's a host of evocative trips down memory lane, including the 'gin palaces' where the likes of Lord Errol and Lady Diana Dalamere gambolled away their Happy Valley days, and the lush lawns of Elsemere, where Joy Adamson lived out her later years after releasing the famous Born Free lions. And all this within a stone's throw of the Great Rift Valley Lodge, where our stunning, split-level guestrooms offer some of the latest luxuries on the edge of the oldest landscape known to man. Adventurers' Club activities included for children. Mara Intrepids is situated on the banks of the Talek River in the heart of this great wilderness, where you're very likely to see wild animals from your own balcony. But the real aim of the game here is a proper wilderness immersion, and you'll be allocated your own highly trained guide to guide you on as many as three game drives each day. Game drives in the Mara's rolling hills, forests and grassy plains are always different - sometimes sitting amid a hundred-strong herd of elephant, other times tiptoeing past a pride of lions on a kill. The rains in March have nurtured the Mara's grasslands, providing plenty of food for its millions of grazers - and plenty of prey for its prowling predators. Our highly trained children's guides will take your young 'Adventurers' on a variety of educational excursions in the safety of our camp grounds.
