Samburu Game Reserve 2 Days 1 Night Fly-in Safari is a luxury flying safari from Nairobi to Samburu Game Reserve. The flight from Nairobi takes about 45 minutes. Activities in Samburu include game viewing, bird watching, and Samburu tribal cultural visits.
Samburu National Reserve is roughly 350 km (217 miles) from Nairobi. The reserve’s topography is mainly open savannah (grassland) with clusters of acacia trees, forest, thorn trees, and grassland vegetation.
Samburu National Reserve was one of the two places where conservationists George and Joy Adamson raised Elsa the Lioness. Their story was made famous by the bestselling book and award-winning movie “Born Free”.
The game reserve is renowned for rare species unique to the park, namely the long-necked gerenuk, Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, and Beisa oryx.
The elusive Kenya leopard is often seen in the park, especially in the evenings. Other Kenyan wildlife present in the park includes cheetahs and lions, as well as elephants, buffalo, and hippos.
Birdlife is as plentiful as wildlife at Samburu National Reserve, which boasts over 350 bird species, including vultures, kingfishers, marabous, bat-eaters, guinea fowl, Somali ostriches, and others.
