Samburu National Reserve

Samburu National Reserve lies in Kenya’s arid northern region and is known for its rugged beauty and rare wildlife species. The reserve is home to unique animals such as the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, and gerenuk—often referred to as the “Samburu Special Five.” The Ewaso Ng’iro River provides a vital water source and excellent game-viewing opportunities.

Cultural interaction is a key highlight of Samburu, with visits to local communities offering insight into traditional pastoral lifestyles. The reserve’s dramatic scenery, fewer crowds, and distinctive wildlife make it an excellent choice for travelers seeking a more remote and authentic safari experience.
