Nairobi to Samburu National Reserve

We’ll begin our safari with a drive to Samburu National Reserve, which is in the Rift Valley region of Samburu County, Kenya. This reserve features a variety of animals only found in the northern part of the country, including Grevy's zebra, the gerenuk, Somali ostriches, reticulated giraffes, and the Beisa oryx. The “Big Five” (lions, leopards, rhinos, buffalos, and elephants) can also be found here.

You'll have the opportunity to spend two nights in this remarkable reserve. Each day you’ll go on morning and evening game drives. On the first day, you'll go on an evening game drive that starts at 4:00pm and concludes at 6:30pm. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.
