Samburu, located in northern Kenya, is a captivating and unique wildlife destination. This semi-arid wilderness is defined by the Ewaso Ng’iro River, a lifeline that draws an abundance of diverse wildlife to its banks. It’s renowned for its “Samburu Special Five”—the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, and the gerenuk—species rarely found elsewhere. The reserve offers thrilling safari experiences, from game drives to cultural encounters with the Samburu people, whose vibrant traditions and distinctive adornments add another layer of allure to this rugged, beautiful landscape.
