Short Kenya Safaris

3 Days Samburu Game Reserve

Experience the arid areas as this safari will drive you through changing terrain crossing the equator and driving to the rugged semi-desert region of northern Kenya. You will have the opportunity to see different tribes of Kenya and the rarely found species of wild game ”the stars of Samburu”. Samburu National Reserve

In the arid North of Kenya, water means life. The waters of the great Ewaso Nyiro river draw wildlife in great numbers to its banks, creating an oasis of green.

This river flows through three great northern reserves, Samburu, Buffalo Springs and Shaba. This is spectacular country, set against a backdrop of the mighty Mountain Ol Olokwe.

The verdant riverine forest is a stark contrast to the arid thorn studded plains. Samburu is visited by large herds of Elephants, drawn by the promise of water. In the dry season, the elephants use their tusks to dig deep into the dry river beds, unearthing precious water. These waterholes then become a focal point for other game.

The Samburu region is the best place to find several endemic Northern species, including Gerenuk, the Reticulated Giraffe, and Grevys Zebra.Lions are also frequently seen on the riverbanks, and Cheetah can be found on the open plains. On rare occasion, packs of African Hunting Dogs are sighted passing through the reserve.The entire Samburu region is a place of breathtaking and magical beauty, a place where the vision of a deep red sunset silhouetting the doum palms along the river as a leopard emerges to hunt brings the perfect end to a day on safari.

Highlights:
• Rare reticulated Giraffe & gravy zebras. • Samburu culture and traditions. • Other plain animals & birdlife.
