The reserve has a rich and diverse collection of wildlife with abundant Samburu "Special Five" animals, including the Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, and the Beisa oryx. These animals are mostly only spotted in Samburu and Northern Kenya.

Samburu National Reserve

After breakfast, you will be taken for an early morning game drive. Many wildlife are seen early in the day as they are on a hunt or kill. Many waterholes and salt licks with shady areas attract wildlife, and you will be taken to these spots for the best game viewing. Lunch will be served in the park as a picnic, maximizing your exposure to the animals.

After the lunch break, you will continue game viewing and photographing the enormous array of animals you encounter. The reserve has many predators, and visitors often see these animals hunting and catching their prey. Dinner and your overnight stay are at Samburu Simba Lodge.
