This trip was organised by Gamewatchers. The trip took me from Nairobi to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy near Mt. Kenya then south to the Ol Kinyei Conservancy in the Mara and onto the Olare Montorogi Conservancy.
The weather was fine with no rain but very cold in the mornings especially in the north but very hot by the afternoon.
This page shows photos of the wildlife seen but to get an idea of what I saw during the trip please link here.
