Samburu Adventures

A half-day game drive in Samburu National Reserve offers a rich taste of Kenya’s untamed north. Set out early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when wildlife is most active, and explore the reserve’s rugged landscapes of dry riverbeds, doum palm groves, and dramatic hills. Samburu is home to unique species found only in this region—like the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, and gerenuk—collectively known as the “Samburu Special Five.” With luck, you may also encounter elephants, lions, leopards, and graceful oryx. Your experienced guide will share insights into the animals, local Samburu culture, and the delicate ecosystem that thrives in this arid environment. It’s a compact but unforgettable safari experience filled with striking scenery and exceptional wildlife viewing.
