  • The Safari

    Fly from Wilson Airport in Nairobi straight to Samburu National Reserve, located in Kenya's arid northern semi-desert country. Samburu is home to the Samburu tribe and many species of wildlife not found in other parts of East Africa. Grevy's zebra, Reticulated Giraffe, Beisa Oryx, long necked Gerenuk along with Cheetah, Elephant, Monkeys and numerous birds are just a few of the species Samburu is famous for. The life-giving Uaso Nyiro River flows through the reserve providing a lush oasis where elephants and other wildlife come to drink.

    We have selected leading lodges or tented camps, where you will stay on a full board basis. Experience your nights "in the bush" with all of the comforts of home. All safari camps and lodges have en-suite bathrooms with normal flush lavatories and hot showers. The facilities in some lodges or camps even include a swimming pool for relaxation after game drives.

    From the camp/lodge you will be taken out on morning and afternoon game drives in a 4 wheel drive safari vehicle with an experienced driver-guide who is based at the camp/lodge and knows the area well.

    Our fly-in safaris operate daily on a scheduled basis and may range from 1 night/2 days to a comprehensive tour of 10 days or more.
