Venture north to Samburu National Reserve for a desert wildlife experience. This 3-day safari highlights the unique animals of Kenya’s rugged north. Samburu is famous for the “Special Five” – Beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich and gerenuk – species rarely seen together elsewhere. You’ll also spot elephants, lions and buffalo along the Ewaso Ng’iro river, and possibly elusive leopard or cheetah on the dry plains. The stark beauty of acacia woodland and riverine forest sets off shimmering herds and striking antelope. This tour offers immersive game drives in two adjacent reserves (Samburu and Buffalo Springs), showcasing northern Kenya’s wildlife in its spectacular habitat.
