Northern Kenya
Samburu National Reserve
The wild north and its Special Five
About Samburu National Reserve
North of the equator, where the Ewaso Ng'iro river cuts through arid plains, Samburu offers a wilder, less-visited safari and species found nowhere else in Kenya's southern parks: the Samburu Special Five — Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, beisa oryx and the long-necked gerenuk. The warmth of Samburu culture makes this a deeply memorable stop.
Highlights
- The Samburu Special Five
- Ewaso Ng'iro river wildlife concentrations
- Samburu cultural encounters
- Leopard sightings along riverine forest
- Fewer crowds than southern parks
