Samburu National Reserve is one of Kenya’s most captivating parks, celebrated for its dramatic landscapes and rare wildlife species. Nestled in northern Kenya, Samburu is home to unique animals like the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, and the long-necked gerenuk. The reserve is bisected by the Ewaso Nyiro River, a lifeline that draws a variety of animals to its banks, offering you unbeatable wildlife sightings in a stark yet stunning environment.
Samburu is renowned for its distinctive wildlife, often called the “Samburu Special Five”:
Reticulated giraffe
Grevy’s zebra
