Samburu National Reserve

Samburu National Reserve, located in northern Kenya, is a beautiful and unique wildlife destination known for its semi-arid landscape and rich diversity of wildlife. Covering approximately 165 square kilometers, the reserve is situated along the Ewaso Ng'iro River, which provides a vital water source for the animals in the area.

Samburu is renowned for its special five—five unique and rare species found only in this region of Kenya: the Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa Oryx, Generuk and Somali ostrich. The reserve is also home to a variety of other wildlife, including lions, leopards, elephants, cheetahs, and numerous bird species, making it a prime destination for safari enthusiasts.

Samburu also has cultural significance, as it is located within the territory of the Samburu people, a pastoralist community closely related to the Maasai. Visitors can experience the local culture, traditions, and lifestyle through guided tours and interactions with the Samburu people.
