3 DAYS SAMBURU
Samburu is glorious for its gravy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffes, gerenuk
and Beisa Oryx. The presence of Ewaso Nyiro River ushers other wildlife from the
surrounding plains and incredible beauty.
Day 1:
Our professional safari driver will pick you up from the airport or hotel in Nairobi for
safari briefing. After this short introduction, you will hit the road. From Nairobi, you will
enjoy a scenic drive providing breathtaking views of the Kenyan landscape. Along the
way, you will stop for lunch in the town of Nanyuki.
In the afternoon, you will arrive at your accommodations where you will check in before
heading out for an evening game drive in Samburu National Park. Samburu shelters an
area of semi-arid savannah extending from the lovely Ewaso Nyiro River. The reserve
consists a riverine forest along the water and dry acacia scrub peppered with termite
mounds. Koitogor Hill marks the middle of the reserve. Evening is a great time to spot
these animals as they are out eating before retreating to the safety of their habitat.
After the drive, you will return to your accommodation for an authentic African dinner.
After dinner, you can meet other travelers and swap stories about your safari adventure.
Then it is off to bed for a good night’s sleep.
Day 2:
After tea, you will head out for a full day game drive. Samburu provides one of the few
refuge in Kenya for the endangered Gravy’s zebra, the rare beisa Oryx and the blue-
shanked Somali ostrich. It also has large herds of elephant that roam the hills.
During the drive, your guide will introduce you to each animal you see and answer any
questions you have. This park offers designated areas where you will be able to enjoy a
picnic lunch right out in the open. After lunch, it is time to continue with the safari game
drive. [Optional: Visit the Masai Village where you can discover the tribal culture and
interact with local people. A preview into their homes and social structure is a touching
experience.]
After the drive, you will return to your accommodation for a well-earned rest before
enjoying an authentic African dinner. After dinner, you can meet other travelers and
swap stories about your safari adventure. Then it is off to bed for a good night’s sleep.
Day 3:
Today you will begin early. After a quick hot drink, it is off for a morning game drive. All
the animals are out in the morning, searching for breakfast, so it is the perfect time for
your drive. The morning hours provide your best opportunity to spot the lion, cheetah
and leopard.
After the drive, you will return to your accommodation for a full breakfast before
checking out. On the drive back to Nairobi, you will stop at the town of Nanyuki for
lunch. Our driver will deliver you back to the airport or your hotel where you can say
your goodbyes.
