Samburu Package

Service Description

Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya is a rugged, remote wilderness that's a hidden gem for safari enthusiasts. The reserve is defined by its arid savannahs, dramatic landscapes, and the Ewaso Ng'iro River, which brings life to the region. Samburu is famous for its unique wildlife, including the "Samburu Special Five": the Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, and beisa oryx. These species are rare and found only in this part of Kenya. Cultural encounters with the Samburu people, who are closely related to the Maasai, add a rich, immersive experience. Their traditions and way of life have remained largely unchanged for centuries. Between the striking landscapes, distinctive animals, and vibrant local culture, Samburu offers a safari experience that's off the beaten path and truly memorable.
