Embark on an unforgettable 3-days Samburu reserve safari experience that will transport you deep into the heart of the renowned Samburu Game Reserve, nestled within Kenya’s captivating Northern Frontier District. This remarkable destination, often considered off the beaten path, is not only a haven for wildlife enthusiasts but also a sanctuary teeming with an extraordinary variety of fauna. Here, you will encounter not only the famed Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros—but also the distinctively captivating ‘Samburu Special Five.’ These include the striking Beisa Oryx with its long straight horns, the elegantly patterned Reticulated Giraffe known for its unique network of white lines on its coat, the rare Grevy’s Zebra distinguished by its narrow stripes and large ears, the graceful Gerenuk Antelope known for its ability to stand on its hind legs to reach foliage high in trees, and finally, the Somali Ostrich which boasts vibrant plumage and a distinctive appearance. The region itself is characterized by an impressive array of landscapes that contribute to its allure—from lush riverine forests brimming with vibrant flora and fauna to ancient lava flows that tell tales of geological activity long past. Additionally, one can find tranquil marshes and refreshing springs that serve as vital water sources for a myriad of wildlife species. Your accommodation during this extraordinary adventure is at the luxurious Samburu Intrepids Camp. This exquisite camp is situated at a verdant oasis on the banks of the majestic Uaso Nyiro River. Elevated upon raised decks overlooking this brown meandering river—where elephants occasionally make their presence felt as they traverse through or where sunbathing crocodiles bask lazily along the riverbanks—you are guaranteed views both enchanting and serene. Given Samburu’s advantageous proximity to the equator, guests will be treated nightly to mesmerizing vistas filled with countless twinkling stars that illuminate Africa’s night sky in breath-taking splendor. Prepare yourself for an unparalleled journey filled with diverse wildlife encounters coupled with stunning natural beauty on this meticulously curated adventure designed exclusively for your enjoyment and appreciation of one of Africa’s most pristine wilderness areas..
