Because you go on safari in a conservancy, there are more flexible rules. You are not tied to specific opening and closing times. So you can go on a night safari accompanied by a ranger and carrying a big light or have a generous breakfast in the bush. And the money you pay? That goes directly to the community! Infrastructure, education, healthcare, everything is jacked up here thanks to the grants that come from conservancy money. Now that's responsible safaris! Wondering why Lumo is worth even more? Read on here!
Looser rules because we are in a reserve. Better! For instance, you are not bound by specific opening hours and you will be much less affected by ‘massive safari tourism’ here than in national parks. There are several activities you can do in Lumo. Ready?
GAME DRIVE: Hit the road in a Land Cruiser and tear across the savannah, scouting for wildlife. Keep your eyes open at all times and enjoy what the rugged Kenyan wilderness has to offer!
BUSH BREAK / BRUNCH: Not quite in the style of Charlie's Travels, as it's a super touristy activity, but let's be honest: how wonderful it is to arrive at a fully set breakfast table in the middle of the savannah, grab a fresh orange juice and be asked, ‘How would you like your eggs?’
BUSH WANDELING: A walk across the savannah with a ranger who not only ensures your safety but also knows a lot about the local flora and fauna. Look for tracks, examine dried droppings and learn about local plants.
NIGHT SAFARI: This is really cool! Where you would normally lie in your tent listening to what animal is making all those sounds, you will now go and find it yourself. Accompanied by a ranger and with a big torch in your pocket, you drive into the eerie darkness of the savannah. Just watch out for hungry hyenas, because Mufasa is not here to save you....
