Samburu National Reserve in Kenya's northern frontier offers a completely different wildlife experience from the southern parks. The semi-arid landscape and Ewaso Nyiro River create a dramatic setting for exceptional game viewing.

Samburu is famous for its 'Special Five' — species unique to northern Kenya: Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, Beisa oryx, and Somali ostrich.

The river frontage is magnificent, with large elephant herds, lions, leopards, and crocodiles. Samburu is also superb for birdwatching with over 450 species, and local Samburu guides provide an extraordinary cultural dimension.
