Full Day Exploring Samburu National Reserve

After breakfast, we will embark on a morning game drive, returning to the lodge for lunch. The afternoon will be dedicated to leisure activities such as swimming, games, and relaxation. Later in the afternoon, we will depart for an evening game drive, concluding at sunset to fully appreciate the tranquility of the reserve.

Samburu National Reserve is renowned for its peaceful ambiance, largely attributed to the Ewaso Ng'iro River (meaning "brown water"), which meanders through the reserve, nourishing the acacia, riverine forest, thorn trees, and grassland vegetation that surround it. Originating from the Kenyan highlands, the Ewaso Ng'iro River eventually flows into the renowned Lorian Swamp. This natural tranquility is a result of the reserve's seclusion from industrial activities and its historical inaccessibility.

Dinner and overnight stay will be at the camp or lodge.

In the afternoon, we will conduct a game drive around the lake that gives the park its name. Here, you can witness vast flocks of flamingos feeding and nesting, creating a breathtaking spectacle as the water is blanketed by a sea of pink and magenta.
