Many animals gather around water holes, salt licks, and shaded areas, and you will visit these spots for the finest game viewing. You’ll have the chance to see animals like elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and a variety of antelopes, including the gerenuk, Grant's gazelle, and the unique reticulated giraffe. Samburu is also home to rare species like the Somali ostrich and Grevy’s zebra. Lunch will be served as a picnic in the park, allowing you to enjoy more time in the reserve surrounded by wildlife. Afterward, you'll continue exploring, capturing photos of the vast array of animals you encounter. The reserve is home to a variety of predators, and it's not uncommon to witness them hunting and capturing their prey. Dinner and overnight accommodation will be at Samburu Sopa Lodge.
