The 450 bird species will delight birders while it’s also the best destination for wildlife enthusiasts who want to see unusual animals that don’t occur in Kenya’s more well-known reserves. Top of the list is the ‘Samburu Big 5’ – Grevy’s zebra; the long-necked gerenuk; the reticulated giraffe; the besia oryx; and the Somali ostrich.

Day 4: 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. Samburu’s game viewing is famously first-class and there are adventure activities and fascinating cultural interactions too.

The Masai Mara National Reserve and its neighbouring conservancies form Kenya’s flagship conservation area and one of the top safari destinations in Africa. Its wide-open plains provide a sanctuary for an abundance of animals like elephants, buffalo, zebra, giraffes, hyenas, and Mara’s famous big cats: lion, leopard, and cheetah.

And from about June to November every year, the Mara is a much-welcomed pit stop for unending masses of wildebeest that follow the rains on their death-defying, 2,900-kilometre (1 800-mile) circular journey.
