Samburu fullday

Third day is dedicated to exploring Samburu in depth. Early Morning and afternoon game drives increase your chances of spotting lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, and even wild dogs. You return to the lodge for lunch and some relaxation—perhaps a swim or time to enjoy the views from your camp. In the afternoon, another game drive takes you deeper into the reserve’s varied habitats, from acacia woodlands to open savannah. This is when you’re most likely to encounter the Samburu Special Five again, along with herds of impala and buffalo.
