A day that seemed a long way off just a few short days ago has come much too soon.

After you enjoy breakfast at the camp, you will be transferred for your flight to Nairobi (Approx. 40 mins.)… On arrival, our representative will meet you.

Lunch will be served at the world-renowned Carnivore Restaurant. Carnivore serves up Kenya's most famous Nyama Choma (barbecued meat).

At the entrance is a huge barbecue pit laden with real swords of beef, lamb, chicken, farmed game meats such as crocodile, rabbit, ostrich etc. The experience works on a simple all-you-can-eat basis: as long as the paper flag on your table is flying, beautifully attired waiters will keep bringing the meat, which is carved right at the table. A good variety is also available for vegetarians.

Thereafter, you will be transferred to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, where you will connect with your outbound flight, carrying a lifetime of memories from your Wild Trek Safaris Kenyan tour back with you.
