Samburu National Reserve is situated within the Rift Valley Province of Kenya. Measuring approximately 104sq. kilometres (approx. 65sq. miles) in size, this unfenced savannah grassland is roughly 350km (217 miles) from Nairobi. It is relatively small in size compared to other Kenyan parks, such as Tsavo or Masai Mara. Samburu national reserve derives its name from the Samburu people of Kenya who have lived in the area for many years.
The Uaso Nyiro River cuts through this reserve, drawing a big population of Kenya animals to the park. The river bustles with activity from its huge population of Nile crocodile.
This morning we start your 3 Days Samburu National Reserve Safari Tour and travel by road to Kenya’s northern frontier.Wild and rugged, Samburu is fiercely beautiful with its arid savannahs watered by the lovely Uaso Nyiro River. It is also one of Kenya’s most protected areas and home to species only found north of the equator, from the reticulated giraffe to Grevy’s zebras and Beisa oryxes. We also enjoy Samburu Sopa Lodge, our luxurious hostelry set beneath a canopy of acacia trees along the banks of the river. Overnight at Samburu Sopa Lodge or similar
Meal Plan: {Lunch & Dinner}
Dawn breaks in golden bands as we start our day in the bush by scanning the river from our tent’s veranda with a cup of steaming coffee in hand. Before the dew is off the grass, we’re off in pursuit of the elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs that thrive in the reserve’s grasslands and acacia woodlands. And so the day is spent in alternating pursuits of exploration in the bush and relaxation in our cozy camp. Overnight at Samburu Sopa Lodge or similar
Meal Plan: {Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner}
We enjoy an early morning game drive and return to the lodge for breakfast and then we fly to Nairobi. We have lunch at our Nairobi Hotel. End of your 3 Days Samburu National Reserve Safari Tour
