Ultimate Samburu Safari

At 07:30 hrs. – Your driver/guide will pick you up from your Nairobi hotel, or Nairobi airport. Then we’ll head out in our comfortable land Cruiser jeep along Kenya’s scenic highlands enjoying views of the vast landscape.

We’ll arrive at the reserve in the afternoon and tour the three parks and their varied environments.

A major landmark at the border between Samburu and Buffalo Springs is the Ewaso Ngiro River which is a lifeline for the parks’ wildlife. The best wildlife game viewing is almost always along the banks of this Ewaso Ngiro River.

Here we’ll find wildlife from the neighboring reserves gathering to drink at the river’s nourishing banks. The river is also home to hippos, crocodiles and some of the many varieties of birdlife found in the parks.

Dinner and overnight at your Samburu lodge/Samburu tented safari camp.

Our time in Kenya is just about to get better; today we’ll kick-off the new day with a game drive in search of lion, leopard, cheetah and whoever else might show up in the dawning light.

Following the path of the Ewaso Ngiro River, we’ll be on the lookout for elephant, buffalo, and some of the more entertaining wildlife like dik-dik, warthog and the olive baboon.

Samburu is also known as one of the best Kenya destinations where you can see rare wildlife creatures in a compelling and beautiful semi-arid desert landscape, also serves as the best places to see elephants. Samburu can be a really great destination for a honeymoon in Africa given its setting and the luxury lodges that are in this area.

Here too, are the Samburu people, closely related to the Maasai, an indigenous, pastoral group, who have inhabited this region for eons.

As always on our safaris, be as active as you wish or relax at your safari accommodation.

Our African safari trip begins with a final morning drive in the park will give us opportunities to add more wildlife sightings to our checklist. But not all the park’s animal activity is limited to mammals. Samburu hosts over 350 species of birdlife including kingfisher, vulture, guinea fowl, egret, falcon and eagle. You’ll have plenty to keep watching for on the land, in the springs and overhead.

We’ll enjoy another game drive as we exit the park on our journey back to Nairobi.

Heading back to the city, we’ll break up the drive with a stop for lunch.

We should arrive in Nairobi in the late afternoon and will drop you off at your hotel, or should you wish at the Nairobi airport; signaling the end of our Kenya wildlife holiday.
