As we fly north over Laikipia and into Samburu County, the landscape is exceptionally interesting with the plains interspersed with wild valleys and hills. Our first stop is on the summit of Lekuruki - located on the Laikipia- Samburu border, within community owned land.

We head north over the vast savannah plains of Samburu, flying low over the Ewaso Nyiro River and at the foot of the Wargs mountains, within Namunyak Conservancy, we land at Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, for the 9am feeding session with the orphans - a special experience learning about each baby’s story.

After an hour on the ground, we board the Heli and embark on the second part of our adventure. We rise up on to the summit of the spectacular Mathews - a dominant mountain range that emerges from the arid plains, topped with mist forests and ancient cycads.

With breath-taking views, we enjoy a picnic breakfast. A short hop further north, and part of the same range are the Ndotos - another wonderful spot to touch down, and stretch our legs, before heading back to Nairobi.
