This program travels the scenic Sirimon route, with some game-viewing and bird watching opportunities along the first day's paths. Then it's up across the Liki and Mackinder's Valleys to Shipton's camp where you can see glistening peaks and stunning scenery.
The Sirimon route is a moderate-strenuous climb but not a technical one and mountain-climbing experience isn't necessary. However, there’s no avoiding the steep ascents and high altitudes that make physical fitness a prerequisite.
You can discover a great deal about yourself through this adventure, but only if the experience is of extremely high quality and professionally organized, which is a part of our specialty.

Lake Nakuru National Park lies in Central Kenya, surrounded mainly by wooded and bushy grassland. The park supports a wide ecological diversity with Flamingos (Greater and Lesser) and other water birds being the major attractions of the area. The ecosystem provides for about 56 different species of mammals including the white rhino and buffaloes and a variety of terrestrial birds numbering nearly 450 species.

Katherine M | Traveled in January
Overall, this was the trip of a lifetime. We had so much fun, we saw amazing animals, and the service/guides were incredible. Such a memorable experience! I look forward to my next National+G tour.
Michael F | Traveled in January
This was a trip of a lifetime for me. I've always dreamed of going on an African safari and this more than exceeded my expectations. Everyone from G Adventures was professional and very friendly and knowledgable. I feel like all of these people are family now. It was that comfortable of an experience with them all. I highly recommend G Adventures to anyone looking to travel and I'm already thinking about my next G Adventures trip.
Sean B | Traveled in January
Absolutely amazing experience!! The itinerary is perfect for someone wanting to see all the incredible diversities Africa has to offer. Would highly recommend this itinerary to first or returning travellers to Africa!
Heather W | Traveled in January
Great CEOs and drivers who were all well-organised, fun, enthusiastic and responsible and who went out of their way to make the trip enjoyable. Accommodation and food was good. I was able to upgrade to a room in the one area when we had to share bathrooms. As a 75 year old I was very happy that, by hiring 2 porters, I was able to see the gorillas. I would recommend all our guides and drivers highly.
Helen S | Traveled in January
Overall it was an amazing experience with G adventures, it was my first time with them and I can see why people keep coming back for more tours. It was a once in a lifetime experience and I will definitely be going with G again.
Georgia W | Traveled in January
Generally the best thing I have ever done. I loved this tour as it helped me explore Africa in a safe environment with knowledgeable guides. Its also a great way to meet like minded people and share such an amazing experience with. There were so many amazing things that we saw and did but the best had to have been camping in the serengeti or sleeping out under the stairs on Christmas Day.
