Our 3 Days 2 Nights Samburu National Reserve Fly-in Safari is a wonderful short and sweet luxury air safari to three adjoining game reserves – Samburu, Buffalo Springs, and Shaba located in northern Kenya’s Samburu District. The three parks are often treated as one.
Buffalo Springs National Reserve, set on the south bank of the Ewaso Nyiro, supports a similar range of wildlife to facing Samburu while Shaba National Reserve is situated on the south bank of the Ewaso Nyiro only 5 km east of Buffalo Springs.
Many species found only in the north of Kenya can be seen here‚ including gerenuk‚ Grevy’s zebra‚ oryx and reticulated giraffe. Other species that live here include lion‚ leopard‚ cheetah‚ elephants‚ buffalo‚ hippo‚ crocodile‚ dik-dik‚ and waterbuck.
Activities and attractions of Samburu include learning more about the fascinating culture of the Samburu tribe, game drives, camel rides, guided walks, bush meals, sundowner, discovering the rare five species (Beisa oryx, the Somali ostrich, gerenuk, the reticulated giraffe, and Grevy’s zebra) climbing Mount Ol Lolokwe (5-hour hike) and the singing Wells of Samburu.
The 3 reserves Samburu, Buffalo Springs, and Shaba are key sites for bird watching. Over 350 species of bird have been recorded‚ including fascinating birds such as Somali ostrich, Dusky and Donaldson’s smith nightjars, White-headed mousebird, D’Arnaud’s barbet, Somali bee-eater, Golden pipit, Donaldson’s smith sparrow weaver, Golden-breasted starling, Rosy-patched bush shrike, and Black-capped social weaver, etc.
The flying time from Nairobi to Samburu takes about an hour and a half. On arrival you will be met and transferred to your safari lodge or tented camp, where you will stay on a full board basis and enjoy morning and evening game drives with a knowledgeable and qualified safari guide, using customized open-sided 4×4 safari vehicles as you explore the surrounding area and track down wildlife.

Safari Itinerary in Detail
Day 1: Nairobi – Fly to Samburu National Reserve
This morning we travel by light aircraft to Kenya’s northern frontier. Wild and rugged, Samburu is fiercely beautiful with its arid savannahs watered by the lovely Uaso Nyiro River.
It is also one of Kenya’s most protected areas and home to species only found north of the equator, from the reticulated giraffe to Grevy’s zebras and Beisa oryxes.
We also enjoy Larsens Tented Camp, our luxurious hostelry set beneath a canopy of acacia trees along the banks of the river.
Overnight Accommodation: Larsens Tented Camp or similar

Day 2: Explore Samburu National Reserve
Dawn breaks in golden bands as we start our day in the bush by scanning the river from our tent’s veranda with a cup of steaming coffee in hand.
Before the dew is off the grass, we’re off in pursuit of the elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs that thrive in the reserve’s grasslands and acacia woodlands.
And so the day is spent in alternating pursuits of exploration in the bush and relaxation in our cosy camp.
