Samburu Game Reserve

Samburu Game Reserve, situated north of the equator, is a captivating semi-arid landscape traversed by the Ewaso Nyiro River, which serves as a lifeline attracting a rich array of wildlife. The reserve is particularly famous for its “Special Five” – the Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, and Beisa oryx – species rarely found elsewhere in Kenya. One can also spot elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and numerous bird species within its unique terrain of acacia-dotted plains and riverine forests. Activities in Samburu range from classic game drives, offering excellent opportunities to see these unique animals, to guided nature walks along the riverbanks and cultural visits to Samburu villages, providing insights into the traditions of the local community. Bush meals and sundowners are also popular, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of the African wilderness.
