3 Days Samburu Game Reserve Safari

Embark on a scenic drive north, watching the landscape shift into the striking red earth of Samburu. Arrive at your riverfront lodge for a gourmet lunch before heading out on a late-afternoon game drive. Your first introduction to the north includes spotting elephant herds crossing the Ewaso Nyiro River against the backdrop of the rugged Ol Olokwe table mountain.

Spend a full, immersive day tracking Samburu’s unique residents: the Reticulated Giraffe, Grevy’s Zebra, Somali Ostrich, Beisa Oryx, and the standing Gerenuk. Enjoy a luxury bush breakfast by the riverbank and an afternoon visit to the Buffalo Springs natural pools, followed by a nocturnal game drive to seek out the park’s famously bold leopards.

Rise with the sun for a final "golden hour" game drive, the best time to witness lions on the hunt along the river’s edge. After a hearty breakfast and a final photography session under the iconic doum palms, begin your smooth journey back to Nairobi, arriving in the city by late evening with your desert adventure complete.
