A short but sweet luxury safari that will have you see the beauty of the wild. Samburu national park is known for its scenic beauty, rivers and forests. It prides itself for its wealth of wildlife such as leopard, hippo, elephant, lion, reticulated giraffe, grevy zebra and crocodile in the Ewaso Nyiro river. There are also over 365 species of birds that can be found in the sanctuaries.
Samburu National Reserve is a rugged and semi-desert park located in Samburu district in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya. Due to its remote distance and the fact that it was inaccessible for many years, the park exudes an ironic aura of serenity that challenges that of the wild life.
Guests stay at Ashnil Samburu Camp, set along the bank of the Ewaso Nyiro River laid out around the natural springs that flow into the river. The Lodge has a virtual mini forest of indigenous trees, a fish pond and a large free form swimming pool.
Starting with an early pick up from your hotel, residence, or the airport in Nairobi, we will embark on the journey to Samburu National Reserve through the Central Highlands of Kenya. The countryside you will pass through is filled with beauty; scenes of local life passing by along with hills and plains. Upon arrival at your accommodation, you will be served lunch and have the opportunity to settle in and relax. The afternoon is filled with your first game drive through the park which will take in the three parks of Samburu, Shaba, and Buffalo Springs. When you return to your camp or lodge, you will have dinner and ready for the full day of African safari that waits the next day.
Morning and afternoon game drives in the park. Samburu is home to many uncommon species such as reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Beisa oryx and the long-necked gerenuk antelope to name just a few. There are also many lion, cheetah and leopard to spot as well as huge crocodiles in the rivers.
Early morning on the savanna is a time filled with the daw chorus, with the transition between night time activity and the slower pace of daylight life. Wake up early this morning so see the change for yourself on an early morning game drive before returning to your accommodation for breakfast. You’re welcome to take some time at your camp or lodge for relaxing before the journey ahead. After lunch, we will depart to Nairobi and once again pass through the stunning highlands landscape of Kenya. Upon arrival you can request a hotel, residence, or airport drop-off depending on your onward plans.
