KENYA SAFARI BOOKING  

5 DAYS CHYULU HILLS WALKING SAFARI

Day 1
Depart Nairobi, for the 3 hour drive down the Mombasa road to Kibwezi. Here we will leave
the tarmac, and take a dirt road, for the 30 km to where we start walking to the caves. Take your
picnic lunch, then an hour walk to the entrance of the caves. Afternoon spent exploring. Dinner
and Overnight in a campsite.

Day 2
Explore sections of one of the longest "Lava Tube" caves in the world - Leviathan. These
caves, which world-wide, are relatively rare, are thought to have been formed when molten
lava, of specific type and viscosity flowed down a slope of a specific angle. The surface layer
cooled and solidified, but the lower part, still molten, continued to flow on down. At this point,
somewhere up the hillside a collapse of the surface crust occurred through which air enters,
and so a tube evacuated itself just below the surface. Afternoon and the evening spent down in
the caves looking at some of the fascinating formations found therein - Sink holes, lava ropes,
stalagmites and stalactites, benches and of course the secondary, water formed features. Dinner
and Overnight in a campsite.

Day 3
Early morning departure by road for the top of the Chyulu Hills. Superb walking country with
gently undulating grasslands, interspersed with dense patches of forest. Possibility of viewing
herds of eland and other antelope, giraffe, zebra and wildebeest with slightly lesser chance to see
elephant, lion and buffalo and the other game that live in the area. Probable views of Kilimanjaro
just 50 km away. Night somewhere along the crest. Probably cool and windy with low cloud in
the early morning. Dinner and Overnight in a campsite.

Day 4
Full day of walking and exploring this unexploited area. Dinner and Overnight in a campsite.

Day 5
Early morning game drive or short walk before a late breakfast / early lunch. It's then along the
crest road and down the western side of the hills for the drive back to Nairobi arriving before
nightfall. Options are of course many and varied and in many cases we can be flexible about the
itinerary whilst we are actually on the safari. One may, for instance, wish to spend an extra day
caving (or cut out a day), thus spend less time (or longer) walking the Chyulus. Later transfer to
the airport or your next destination.
