You can opt to visit a Samburu manyatta (village). The Samburu community shares many similarities with the Maasai community, yet many cultural differences exist.

Samburu National Reserve is characterized by the dramatic scenery of scattered woodlands, dry grasslands, and riverside forests along the Ewaso Ng’iro River. You can spot Samburu's Big 5 species – gerenuk, Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, and Somali ostrich - only found north of the equator. The park also has many lions, leopards, buffaloes, elephants, and antelopes, among many other wildlife.
