Samburu National Reserve
Set out for an early morning game drive in the Samburu Reserve for the whole day. The morning is usually the most popular game-viewing time. During the early hours, the temperatures are low, thus providing a favorable atmosphere both for the game and the viewer. Lion, cheetah, and leopard roam the vast grasslands in search of their next meal - it may be an unsuspecting impala or even a small animal like a warthog. The spectacle of nature unfolding is always amazing to watch from the pop-up roof.
