Samburu National Reserve Safari
Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya offers a safari experience unlike anywhere else in the country. The arid, rugged landscape along the Ewaso Ng’iro River is home to unique species found nowhere else in southern Kenya — the famous “Samburu Special Five”: Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk, and Beisa oryx.
Why Choose Samburu
- Samburu Special Five — unique northern species
- Large elephant herds — featured in BBC’s “Elephant Diaries”
- Excellent predators — leopards, lions, wild dogs, and cheetahs
- Dramatic landscapes — red earth, doum palms, and rugged hills
- Samburu culture — visit traditional manyattas and learn warrior customs
- Fewer crowds — quieter than the Masai Mara
Best Time to Visit
The dry seasons (June-October and January-February) concentrate wildlife along the Ewaso Ng’iro River, offering excellent game viewing. The reserve is 350 km north of Nairobi (5-6 hours by road) or a short flight. Combine with Ol Pejeta, Mount Kenya, or Laikipia for a comprehensive northern Kenya circuit.
