Nairobi - Samburu Game Reserve
0700 hrs After breakfast you will be transferred to Wilson Airport for your scheduled flight to Samburu in Kenya’s rugged Northern Frontier District. On arrival transfer to your luxury accommodations. Elephant Bedroom Samburu Game Reserve is unique. The vegetation comprises predominantly acacia woodland interspersed with bush, grass and scrubland, which is broken here and there by small rugged hills whilst the meandering loops of the river are bordered by a narrow gallery of riverine woodland in which acacia and doum palm flourish. This is a dry country ecosystem and is, therefore, prone to large variations in the animal populations as they move in search of water and pasture.
