This reserve, though unpopular, offers some of the greatest safari experience off-beaten path. On this day, we will start our day up early for our early morning game drive.

The only permanent source of water in the reserve is The Ewaso Nyiro River which provides excellent game viewing opportunities including elephants, buffalos, lions and leopards and of course the plains’ game.

Samburu National Reserve is home to the rare northern ‘special five’ which are; the grevy zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, generuk and the beisa oryx. There are many more animals in the reserve including large elephant herds, endangered wild dogs and big cats. With our knowledgeable guide, you will be able to spot the wildlife and watch them in their natural habitats.

Samburu is not just a haven for wildlife, it’s a stunningly diverse landscape that captivates photographers, nature lovers, and adventure seekers alike.

The park also shows off over 450 species of avian life, including kingfisher, vulture, guinea fowl, falcon, and eagle. Despite its arid appearance, Samburu offers many surprises for the safari-goer.
