Nairobi – Samburu (Flight + Afternoon Game Drive)

Your safari begins with a morning flight from Wilson Airport in Nairobi to the Samburu airstrip, taking about 1.5 hours. Upon arrival, you're welcomed by your lodge's driver-guide and transferred to your luxury safari lodge or camp, where you check in and enjoy a refreshing lunch. After a short rest, embark on your first game drive in the Samburu National Reserve. The reserve is famous for its rare northern species such as the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk, and Beisa oryx—collectively known as the "Samburu Special Five." As the sun sets, return to camp for dinner and a relaxing evening under the stars.

In the afternoon, set out on another game drive to explore different areas of the park, perhaps along the Ewaso Nyiro River a vital water source that attracts a wide variety of wildlife.
