Venture off the beaten track to Samburu National Reserve located in northern Kenya on this 3-day road safari from Nairobi. Samburu Reserve is situated in the hot and arid fringes of Kenya’s vast Northern Frontier District. The reserve covers 40 Square Miles (104 km) and is located 350 km north of Nairobi within Isiolo District.

Samburu is not particularly well–known and is therefore not too crowded – a huge plus in Kenya where so many reserves are often overflowing with tourists. It is often grouped with the Buffalo Springs and Shaba National Reserves as they lie so close together.

The reserve is rich in wildlife with fame for abundance in rare northern specialist species such as the Grevy Zebra, Somali Ostrich, Reticulated Giraffe, Gerenuk, and the Beisa Oryx (Also referred to as Samburu Special).

The reserve is also popular with a minimum of 900 elephants. Large predators such as the Lion, Leopard, and Cheetah are an important attraction (Kamunyak the Miracle Lioness that adopted the baby Oryx is a resident in the reserve).

Wild dog sightings are also a common attraction to this unique protected area. Bird life is abundant with over 450 species recorded. Birds of the arid northern bush country are augmented by a number of riverine forest species. Lesser Kestrel and the Taita Falcon are species of global conservation concern and they both utilize the reserve.  

The area is home to the Samburu tribe, pastoral relatives of the Masai. Samburu Reserve as a safari destination has a rugged and dramatic landscape, the Ewaso Nyiro River runs along the southern boundary.
