We explore the Samburu National Reserve all day long. We do a game drive early in the morning, when the light is ideal for taking beautiful pictures, and you can spot plenty of different species. The mid-morning and afternoon wildlife drives provide the chance to see all three of the big cats (cheetah, leopard, and lion). Additionally, keep an eye out for Samburu's buffalos and elephants. There are many Nile crocodiles in the Ewaso Nyiro River. Samburu National Reserve offers a diverse range of wildlife and birdwatching opportunities. The area is said to be home to a number of unique species, including its distinct dry-country wildlife.

We can choose to go to Samburu National Reserve and spend the whole day there with picnic lunch boxes. For an additional fee, we will have an optional visit a Samburu village to learn more about the distinctiveness of the Samburu people and their culture.

One of the lakes in the Rift Valley, Lake Nakuru is 1,754 meters (5,755 feet) above sea level. It is located south of Nakuru. Situated in Kenya's Rift Valley, it is safeguarded by Lake Nakuru National Park. The large number of flamingos that famously line the coastline are drawn to the lake's profusion of algae. Along with warthogs, baboons, and other big animals, numerous birds also thrive in the region. Additionally, Southern white rhinos and Eastern black rhinos have been brought here.

One of the most well-known and visited reserves in Africa is Masai Mara, where millions of animals may be viewed during the annual wildebeest migration. You will still witness hundreds of animals at other times. Thomson's gazelle, giraffe, topi, impala, and wildebeest are all across the plains. Leopard, lion, hyena, cheetah, jackal, and bat-eared fox are also frequently sighted. Although they can be elusive and reticent, black rhinos are frequently observed from a distance. The wildebeest move from Tanzania's Serengeti plains to the Masai Mara in July, August, and September.
