Kenya

Samburu

Kenya's rugged north — reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra and gerenuk along the Ewaso Nyiro river, far from the crowds.

Sample destination page — content to be confirmed

A wilder, quieter safari three to four hours north of Mount Kenya — river-side camps, elephants at the water and species you won't see in the Mara.

Highlights

  • The 'Samburu Special Five' northern species
  • Dramatic semi-arid scenery and river crossings
  • Samburu culture and village visits
  • Combines naturally with a Mount Kenya trek

When to go: June–October and December–March; dry months concentrate game at the river.
