5 Days Samburu National Reserve

Depart from Nairobi in the morning and head north through scenic agricultural highlands and across the equator toward the rugged landscape of Samburu National Reserve. Arrive in time for lunch at your lodge or camp, followed by an afternoon game drive to spot unique northern wildlife species along the arid terrain.

Spend a full day exploring Samburu National Reserve with a strong focus along the life-giving waters of the Ewaso Ng'iro River. Watch herds of elephants drinking and bathing, track Nile crocodiles sunning on the riverbanks, and look out for the rare Samburu special five wildlife species.

Cross over into the adjacent Buffalo Springs National Reserve, named after a crystal-clear spring of water bubbling from an underground stream. Enjoy extensive game drives across open savannahs, volcanic scrublands, and acacia forests while searching for localized wildlife and rich birdlife.

Enjoy a full day of game viewing across Samburu, taking advantage of morning and afternoon excursions. Discover hidden wildlife pockets, observe predators on the hunt in the cooler hours, and savor a picnic lunch surrounded by the dramatic northern Kenyan wilderness.

Catch a final early morning game drive in Samburu as the sun rises over the arid horizon. After breakfast, check out and begin your return journey south to Nairobi, arriving with unforgettable memories for your drop-off at your hotel or the airport.
