Discover Kenya’s Wild North – Rare Wildlife, Rugged Landscapes & Timeless Culture
Escape the ordinary and journey to Samburu National Reserve, one of Kenya’s most dramatic and less-crowded safari destinations.
This 3-day private safari from Nairobi offers a chance to see unique wildlife found nowhere else in Kenya, such as the reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, and Beisa oryx — known as the “Samburu Special Five.”
With your private 4×4 Land Cruiser and professional driver-guide, you’ll explore rugged hills, the lifeblood Ewaso Nyiro River, and the warm hospitality of the Samburu people.
Depart Nairobi early in the morning, heading north across the equator toward the rugged Samburu region.
The scenic drive (approx. 6–7 hours) passes through fertile highlands and stunning landscapes that lead to the semi-arid plains of northern Kenya.
Arrive in Samburu in time for lunch at your lodge, then head out for your first afternoon game drive.
Spot elephants cooling off by the Ewaso Nyiro River, or the rare reticulated giraffe and Grevy’s zebra grazing nearby.
Return for dinner and overnight surrounded by the sounds of the wild.
