Crazy Facts About Samburu

  • Samburu is one of the few places in Kenya where you can spot the famous Samburu Special Five, including the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk, and Beisa oryx.
  • The reserve is shaped by the Ewaso Nyiro River, a lifeline that draws elephants, big cats, and other wildlife into this dry and dramatic northern landscape.
  • Samburu offers a safari experience that feels more remote, wild, and untouched than many of Kenya’s more crowded parks.
  • The region is home to the Samburu people, known for their rich traditions, colorful clothing, and deep connection to the land.
  • With its rugged hills, open plains, rare wildlife, and striking scenery, Samburu is one of Kenya’s most unique and unforgettable safari destinations.

Day-by-Day Samburu Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Kenya

We meet you in Nairobi, handle the transfer, and give you time to rest before the road or flight north.

The landscape dries and opens. Check in by the river, settle into camp, and take an afternoon drive as animals come to water.

Day 3: Samburu Safari

Look for the Special Five, elephants along the Ewaso Nyiro, and big cats in a quieter park. Days stay private and unhurried.
