Overview

Samburu National Reserve sits in Kenya's rugged northern frontier — a stark, sun-baked landscape of acacia scrubland, dry riverbeds, and the life-giving Ewaso Nyiro River. Home to the 'Samburu Special Five' — reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, and gerenuk — Samburu offers wildlife encounters found nowhere else on Earth. Game drives along the river reveal crocodile, elephant, and lion, while the vibrant Samburu people add rich cultural depth to every visit.
