Why clients love Samburu
Hot, dry and dramatic, Samburu lies along the Ewaso Ng'iro River in northern Kenya. It's home to species rarely seen elsewhere — Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, Beisa oryx and the long-necked gerenuk — plus elephants, lions and leopards on the riverbanks.
Things to do here
- The 'Samburu Special Five': Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich and gerenuk
- River-edge elephants, crocodiles and leopards
- Cultural visit to a Samburu village
- Quiet, less-crowded game drives
Common questions
Why choose Samburu over the Mara?
It's quieter and offers species you won't find in the south, which makes it ideal for return visitors or anyone who wants to add something different.
Is Samburu very hot?
Days are warm and dry, with cooler mornings and evenings. Bring light layers, a hat and sunscreen — game drives are timed around the heat.
