Nairobi-Samburu National Reserve

As you traverse this region, enjoy views of lush coffee and tea plantations, expansive sisal fields, and vibrant pineapple farms, offering a glimpse into the country’s agricultural heart. Arriving in the dramatic semi-arid scrublands of the Northern Frontier, you’ll reach your destination in time for lunch. Afterward, embark on an exciting afternoon game drive through the reserve. Samburu is a strikingly beautiful destination, with its vast, arid savannahs nourished by the life-giving Ewaso Nyiro River. This unique ecosystem is home to species found only north of the equator, including the striking reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, gerenuk, Beisa oryx, and a wealth of big game like elephants and lions. Return to your lodge for a relaxing dinner and an overnight stay, immersed in the serenity of the wild.
