Full Day Game Drive in Samburu National Reserve

Begin your day, heading into Samburu National Reserve’s dramatic habitats along the Ewaso Ng’iro River. Your morning drive explores semi-arid plains and riverine forests in search of lions, leopards, elephants and the rare Samburu Special Five—Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich and gerenuk. Enjoy a packed bush picnic lunch in a scenic clearing. In the afternoon, continue game viewing near riverbanks and rocky escarpments—spotting bathing elephants, crocodiles, and abundant birdlife—culminating in a sundowner stop as the sun sets over the plains. Return to camp in the evening for dinner and overnight.
