HIGHLIGHTS

Samburu Reserve is especially famous for the almost guaranteed sighting of the 3 cats: lion, cheetah, and leopard. It bores a natural serenity due to its distance from industry and the inaccessibility of the reserve for many years. This safari will traverse north through the high shoulder of Mountain Kenya to the Game Reserve of Samburu. See the Ewaso Nyiro River which supports a wide variety of game such as elephant, reticulated giraffe, buffalo, grevy's zebra, oryx and the long necked gerenuk.

We will depart Nairobi at 7:00am and drive south along the Central Kenya Highlands and arrive in Ashnil Samburu Lodge in time for lunch. You can spend the afternoon swimming and relaxing before we set off for an evening game drive, your first taste of wildlife encounter. It's interesting to know that the Samburu National Reserve was one of the two areas in which conservationists George Adamson and Joy Adamson raised Elsa, the Lioness made famous in the bestselling book and later on made into this movie which gathered various awards. The Samburu National Reserve is also the home of Kamunyak, a lioness famous for adopting oryx calves.

Reserve exudes a peaceful aura that attracts animals and greatly because of the Ewaso Ng'iro river (meaning brown water) that runs through it and surrounded by acacia, riverine forest, thorn trees and grassland vegetation. The Ewaso Ng'iro flows from the Kenyan highlands and empties into the famous Lorian Swamp. The natural serenity that is evident here is due to its distance from industry and the inaccessibility of the reserve for many years.
