Explore samburu

After an early breakfast, set out on morning and afternoon game drives, or choose a full-day game drive experience complete with picnic lunch boxes, allowing you to venture deeper into the heart of Samburu and its surrounding reserves. Samburu is renowned for its rare and northern-dwelling wildlife species—often referred to as the Samburu Special Five—including the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, and gerenuk. These unique animals thrive in the region’s semi-arid terrain, offering exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities.
Extend your adventure into the nearby Shaba National Reserve, a dramatic landscape of volcanic formations, springs, and acacia-dotted hills. Return to your lodge or tented camp in the late afternoon, where you can unwind, refresh, and enjoy a full-board dinner under the stars. Your comfortable accommodations await, promising a peaceful night in the wild.
