Stay at Sarova Shaba Game Lodge run by Sarova Hotels. https://www.sarovahotels.com/shabalodge-samburu/safari-experiences.html. Food was incredible a taste of Kenya and more. Fine for Black travelers, men and women. Met a group of Kenyan women there too. Game Drives will take you between the Shaba National Reserve and Samburu National Park where you will see from lions, perhaps lucky enough like I was to see the leopard and cubs! There are also big herds of elephants and the special species of Zebra known as the grevy and also the reticulated giraffe. If brave enough dip your feet into the water at the Sarova Shaba Game Lodge for a “fish foot therapy” yes the fish nibble all the dead skin off your feet! I did it, though not for the faint of heart:) You can also book spa treatments or just chill by the pool or go for a nature walk. Yes I would go back! Before you go, make sure to read or listen to podcast of Joy Adamson’s “Born Free” and “Living Free” or watch the film of the Adamsons story in “To Walk with Lions”.
