9-Day Premium Kenya Safari Adventure Tour

Safari Trip in Kenya begins with a morning pick-up from your Nairobi hotel or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport by your professional safari driver-guide. Depart Nairobi and journey north through bustling towns and rolling farmlands, gradually transitioning into the rugged, semi-arid landscapes of northern Kenya.

As the scenery changes to acacia-dotted plains and rocky hills, arrive by midday at Samburu National Reserve. After check-in and lunch at Surana Buffalo Springs Camp, take time to relax before heading out for an exciting afternoon game drive. Return to camp before nightfall, ready to unwind after your first day on safari.

The morning game drive takes you deeper into the reserve, where you have the opportunity to spot some of Samburu’s rarer residents. The Grevy’s zebra, for example, is the largest zebra species in the world, with narrow stripes and large rounded ears. The reticulated giraffe, with its geometric net-like patterns, is considered one of the most beautiful giraffe subspecies. The gerenuk, also called the “giraffe gazelle,” is an antelope with an unusually long neck and legs—it often stands on its hind legs to feed on shrubs.

As you explore, your guide shares fascinating stories about the Samburu people, their traditions, and how they coexist with wildlife in this rugged environment. Unlike the Maasai, the Samburu are semi-nomadic pastoralists, known for their colorful attire and deep connection to their cattle.

You pause for lunch at the lodge or with picnic boxes in the wild, depending on the day’s schedule. The afternoon drive offers more chances to spot predators. Lions are often seen lazing under acacia trees, while leopards may be draped over branches in the heat of the day. The reserve is also excellent for birdwatchers, with species such as the vulturine guinea fowl, Somali bee-eater, and martial eagle filling the skies. The lodge’s location offers wonderful views, and you may even see elephants wandering near the river as you enjoy your meal. The peaceful atmosphere and sounds of the bush remind you that this Samburu safari is an authentic and deeply rewarding experience.
