Escape to northern Kenya’s rugged wilderness and discover Samburu National Reserve – home to wildlife you won’t find anywhere else in the country. From the graceful reticulated giraffe to the rare Grevy’s zebra, and the elegant oryx, Samburu offers a unique safari experience under the backdrop of dramatic landscapes and the shimmering Ewaso Nyiro River. This short but unforgettable journey is perfect for travelers seeking a taste of adventure beyond the usual safari trail.
Depart Nairobi early and journey through Kenya’s central highlands, passing scenic coffee and tea plantations before descending into Samburu’s rugged terrain. Arrive in time for lunch and later embark on your first game drive in search of elephants, lions, and Samburu’s unique “Special Five.”
Spend the day exploring Samburu’s rich wildlife zones. The Ewaso Nyiro River attracts an abundance of animals – from crocodiles basking in the sun to herds of elephants cooling off in the water. Keep your camera ready for leopard sightings in the acacia trees and colorful birdlife across the reserve.
Enjoy a sunrise game drive as the park comes alive with activity, then return to the lodge for breakfast before beginning your journey back to Nairobi, carrying with you memories of Samburu’s wild beauty.
