3-Day Samburu Private Safari from Nairobi

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.

3-day safari adventure Day-by-Day Itinerary

The scenic drive (approx. 6–7 hours) passes through fertile highlands and stunning landscapes that lead to the semi-arid plains of northern Kenya.
