Samburu National Reserve is a remote and rugged safari destination in northern Kenya, known for its unique wildlife and dramatic scenery. Set along the Ewaso Nyiro River, the reserve supports animals rarely seen in other parks, including the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, beisa oryx, and gerenuk—collectively known as the Samburu Special Five. Elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs are also commonly spotted. The dry, open terrain makes game viewing easy and rewarding. Samburu is also home to rich birdlife and offers cultural interactions with the local Samburu people, who share customs similar to the Maasai. The combination of rare species, cultural richness, and scenic beauty makes Samburu an exceptional safari destination.
