Scenic Drive from Nairobi to Samburu & Afternoon Game Drive

Depart Nairobi early in the morning in a private 4×4 safari vehicle, driving north past the slopes of Mount Kenya and through rural farmlands before dropping into the dramatic landscapes of the northern frontier. Arrive at your luxury safari lodge or tented camp overlooking the Ewaso Ng'iro River in time for a warm welcome and a delicious lunch. Venture out along the riverbanks and scrublands during the cooler afternoon hours. Search for herds of elephants coming down to drink and track the unique "Samburu Special Five": the Grevy's zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, Gerenuk (giraffe-necked antelope), and Beisa oryx.

Full-Day Exploration of Samburu National Reserve

Wake up with the African sun for an early morning game drive when predators such as leopards, lions, and cheetahs are most active along the riverbeds and open plains. Return to camp for a leisurely breakfast and lunch, enjoying the refreshing river breeze or watching wildlife from your private veranda. Head out for another extensive game-viewing session across the reserve's rolling hills. Optionally, visit a traditional Samburu manyatta village to experience the vibrant culture, beadwork, and dances of the semi-nomadic pastoralist community.
