Samburu

Samburu National Reserve, located in northern Kenya, is a rugged and remote safari destination known for its unique wildlife and stark, breathtaking landscapes. Situated along the banks of the Ewaso Ng’iro River, this arid region is an oasis for wildlife, attracting an impressive variety of species that thrive in the semi-desert environment. Samburu is celebrated for its special five—the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, Beisa oryx, and gerenuk, all species that are uniquely adapted to the area.

The reserve is also home to large elephant herds, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hundreds of bird species, making it a premier destination for both wildlife enthusiasts and birdwatchers. Its rugged beauty, with acacia woodlands and rocky outcrops, creates stunning backdrops for game drives and photography. Samburu offers an off-the-beaten-path safari experience, far from the crowds, where you can witness wildlife in an untouched, wild setting.

Beyond its wildlife, Samburu provides rich cultural experiences through interactions with the Samburu people, whose traditional way of life remains closely tied to the land. With its combination of unique wildlife, captivating scenery, and cultural richness, Samburu National Reserve is a hidden gem in Kenya’s safari circuit.
