Nairobi-Samburu National Reserve

Your guide will pick you up from your Nairobi area hotel and head north for Samburu National Reserve. Along the way, we’ll see the country’s tallest peak, snow-capped Mt. Kenya.

Our route to Samburu is through Kenya’s central highlands, and we’ll make stops at local markets to shop and enjoy the flavor of the markets. We will also cross the equator and pause to mark this special moment.

At Samburu we will embark on our first game drive, rumbling over the terrain in search of lion, leopard, cheetah, buffalo, and elephant.

We’ll spend the first of two nights at Samburu at the lodge.

Samburu National Reserve

Our day will be filled with full day game drives with picnic lunch. Besides the park’s big game, we’ll also be looking for unusual wildlife found here like Gravy's zebra, reticulated giraffe and beisa oryx – a large antelope with a striking appearance.

We will also take drives to nearby Shaba and Buffalo Springs, two oases that are greener than Samburu with forests, woodland, and volcanic formations. The park also displays over 450 species of avian life, including kingfisher, vulture, guinea fowl, falcon, and eagle. Despite its arid appearance, Samburu offers many surprises for the curious safari-goer.

Our final safari night will be at Samburu at the lodge.
