Day 1 Nairobi to Chyulu hills
pick up from the  airport by our guide driver with a short briefing about the safari and after depart Nairobi in the morning for chyulu hills, for the 3 hour drive down the Mombasa road to Kibwezi. Here we will leave the tarmac, and take a murram road for the 30 km to where we start walking to the caves. First though, lunches of cold cuts, salads, bread and cheese, then an hour walk to the entrance of the caves. Afternoon spent exploring the park

Dinner/overnight at the camp

Day 2 chyulu hills full day
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 there  Sink holes, lava ropes, stalagmites and stalactites, benches and of course the secondary, water formed features.

Dinner/overnight at the camp
