Itinerary

Day 1: Nairobi – Samburu National Reserve

This 3 day Samburu safari will begin with a pick up from your hotel or Airport in Nairobi. Drive to the northern side of Kenya, passing through lush highlands and farmlands before crossing the equator at Nanyuki, a perfect spot to capture beautiful pictures and memories. As you descend into the semi-arid northern frontier, you’ll notice a striking change in scenery: rugged hills, open plains and scattered acacia trees. Arrive at your lodge or camp, check in with lunch and freshen up. After some rest, head out for your first evening game drive. The Ewaso Nyiro River is the heartbeat of the park, and you are likely to find elephants, crocodiles, and other wildlife gathering to drink. Your guide will help you spot the Samburu Special Five, along with lions resting under shady trees or leopards perched on rocky outcrops. Return to your lodge at sunset for dinner and overnight stay.

Capture stunning photos of elephants moving in herds, giraffes browsing on treetops, and antelopes grazing against the backdrop of Samburu’s rugged hills. Return to the lodge for a mid-morning rest and a leisurely lunch as you relax and enjoy the camp/lodge’s amenities. Later, embark on an evening game drive, exploring a different section of the reserve when animals are once again active in the cooler hours of the day. This is an excellent time to look out for cheetahs, leopards, and other predators as they prepare to hunt.
