The Karisia Walking Safari is called Nyasura and it is certainly sacred ground, used for millennia by hunters and others seeking shelter. Ancient graves, flints, and pounding stones called boluses are all in evidence around the rocks and particularly the caves. We will be camped beside Nyasura and in the evening after a jaunt about we will scale its slopes for a view and a sundowner. The remainder of the safari traverses a rich Acacia bush country that thrives with plains game as well as the predators that like to eat them. It is not uncommon to run into a Lion, Leopard, Hyena, or Wilddog along the course of this safari. With our riding camels carrying our heavier cameras, water, and snacks we will venture forth each morning while the bulk of the remaining camels bear the tents, fly sheets, and kitchen straight onto the next camp. This safari finishes on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River, the second largest river in Kenya.
Hugely popular with our Elephants who love to wallow in its muddy stretches, the river offers a great opportunity to approach, study and photograph these riveting animals.

The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.
