Nairobi to Samburu – Journey into Northern Kenya

Your Samburu adventure begins with an early morning departure from Nairobi, travelling north through Kenya's scenic countryside toward the spectacular Samburu region. As the landscape gradually changes from lush central highlands to rugged, semi-arid terrain, the journey itself becomes part of the adventure.

Arrive at your lodge or camp and check in before enjoying lunch and some time to relax. Later in the afternoon, embark on your first thrilling game drive through Samburu National Reserve. Explore the wildlife-rich plains and areas along the Ewaso Nyiro River in search of elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and Samburu's unique northern species.

As the sun sets over the rugged landscape, return to your lodge for dinner and overnight.

Full-Day Samburu – Discover the Special Five

Rise early for an exhilarating full-day safari through Samburu National Reserve. Explore the reserve's dramatic landscapes on morning and afternoon game drives, following the Ewaso Nyiro River and surrounding plains in search of extraordinary wildlife.

Samburu is famous for its Special Five—the Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, Beisa oryx, and Somali ostrich—species that make this region completely different from Kenya's southern safari destinations.

Keep your camera ready for elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, buffaloes, hippos, crocodiles, and numerous bird species. Enjoy a packed picnic lunch inside the reserve before continuing your wildlife adventure through the afternoon.

Return to your lodge as the sun sets over the Samburu wilderness, followed by dinner and your second overnight stay.
