3 Days – Samburu – Nairobi – Mount Kenya

About this tour

🦓 Samburu: Kick-start your Kenyan journey in the arid beauty of Samburu. Distinct from the typical savannah landscapes, Samburu is a mesmerizing mosaic of acacia woodlands, grasslands, and the Ewaso Ng’iro River. This unique ecosystem is home to the ‘Samburu Special Five’ – Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, and Beisa oryx. A true hidden gem, Samburu provides an off-the-beaten-path safari experience.

🌇 Nairobi: The vibrant heart of Kenya, Nairobi is a city that pulses with life and energy. Immerse yourself in its rich tapestry of history, culture, and modernity. Discover the city’s unique offerings, from the Nairobi National Park – a wildlife haven on the city’s edge, to the bustling Maasai markets, and historical sites like the Karen Blixen Museum.

🏔️ Mount Kenya: Conclude your adventure at the base of the formidable Mount Kenya, the crown jewel of the Kenyan landscape. Behold the mountain’s snow-capped peaks, venture into its alpine meadows, and breathe in the crisp, fresh mountain air. Mount Kenya stands not just as a physical challenge for trekkers but as a spiritual journey for all who visit.

Embark on a tale of contrasts, from Samburu’s rugged wilderness to Nairobi’s urban beat and the ethereal heights of Mount Kenya. This is Kenya, raw and unfiltered. 🦓🌇🏔️🌍

Excellent, probably the best yet.

This was an amazing trip. Totally fell in love with Vietnam, We did so much in such in two weeks. The cycling, somehow. only felt like a small part of the experience as there were so many other things that we did. Each day was full on, exceptionally well organised, great food, etc Been on a few cycle trips, and I think this was the best one so far.

Another exciting adventure with Exodus

Another exciting adventure with this tour company.Our trip was at the end of April/beginning of May and it was very hot !!!! I'm told June/July is even hotter. Phew !!!!Despite this I loved every minute of it.It was a very busy trip but extremely well organised. I very much liked the additional drink stops as it was so very hot. Home made chilled lime was just the thing. I also very much liked Lam pre-booking the meals and us all going together. He found some wonderful places and we had delicious fresh food. There just isn't time to find somewhere yourself. This really worked well.We were lucky to be with a super group of people. Everyone happy and smiling and enjoying every moment..................well................except a few of the group who did get a bit sore. Please do get yourself some chamois butter and padded pants. It works a treat.It worked well having all the cycling in the beginning. The train was much better than I had expected and I slept like a log !!! Whale Island and Halong Bay were real treats and I would have loved more time there. But, overall, the trip was perfect for timing as it kept us within the 15 day Visa limit and we saw and did so much.Despite being informed in writing by the tour operator that our big holdalls/suitcase stays with us all the time......this was not the case. You do need to have a rucksack or flat pack bag big enough for the one and two night stays (Whale Island and Halong Bay). In fact......it works very well to just take small luggage. Much easier to do once you get your head around it.I found the cycling easy compared with other trips I've done but I do feel it is right to be called a Level 3. Everyone cycles slightly differently and there is always a bit of a mix of abilities........which makes for a good group cycle I think.
