During mid-morning and afternoon drives, you’ll have the chance to see the big cats—cheetahs, leopards, and lions—alongside Samburu buffalos and elephants. The Ewaso Nyiro River hosts numerous Nile crocodiles, and the reserve offers rich opportunities for wildlife and birdwatching, featuring unique dry-country species found only in this region.

For an additional fee, you can visit a Samburu village to learn about the Samburu people’s customs and culture, or choose to spend the whole day in the reserve with picnic lunches.
