Holiday by the Samburu Country Samburu, Kenya

Overview

Features

Day 01, 21st April 2017: Nairobi City – Samburu National Reserve

You set off from Nairobi at 7:00am and drive past the pineapple town of Thika, turn left at Makuyu through to the equator city of Nanyuki where on a good sky-clear morning you might be able to see the snow-capped Mount Kenya (standing at 5,199M high on the majestic Batian, Nelion and Lenana Peaks). You will then proceed to town of Isiolo and to the reserve using Engare Mare Gate (just before Archers’ Post). Arrival at your lodge is in time for lunch followed by a short rest.

Later afternoon, a game viewing drive in the reserve follows to run until sunset and then return to lodge. Dinner and overnight at Samburu Simba Lodge (L,D)

Day 02, 22nd April 2017: Samburu National Reserve

Full day spent fully in the pack inclusive of game drives in the morning & afternoon up to River Ewaso Nyiro (the reserve’s lifeline). Attractions here are incredibly different from the common wildlife that we find on the southern parts of the country; these are adapted to the arid conditions here, making the reserve a special showcase, all these amidst the dotted acacia with Koitogor & Ololokwe Mountains visible. In the evening you return to your lodge for overnight.

Dinner and overnight at Samburu Simba Lodge (B,L,D)

This reserve together with its adjoining counterparts (Shaba and Buffalo Spring Game Reserves), is within the lands of the Samburu tribe, a Maa-speaking pastoralist and nomadic people closely related to the Maasai. This arid reserve with an eco-system traversed with the grand Uaso Ngiro River and lying on the northern half of Kenya is rich with wildlife and birds, with rare species endemic to the arid north such as the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, long-necked gerenuk (giraffe antelope), the scimitar-shape horned Beisa oryx and the blue-shanked Somali ostrich. Others include lion, cheetah, the occasional leopard, elephant, buffalo and hippo among others.

Day 03, 23rd April 2017: Samburu National Reserve – Nairobi City 

After breakfast you depart for your drive back to Nairobi City to mark the end of your safari.

(this day’s lunch will be on your own arrangement)
