Samburu Game Reserve

Samburu National Reserve is located around the Ewaso Ngiro River in the dry northern region of Kenya. It is an arid semi-desert area.

The big Ewaso ngiro river provides water to the surrounding dry areas and attracts a lot of wildlife.

The Giraffe, buffalo, waterbuck and the rare Grevy's zebra from the surrounding dry areas go there seeking water.

Lion, leopard and cheetah are also easily spotted. They come seeking water and prey.

Samburu is also home to large herds of elephants and gazelles, giving you a great opportunity to watch and photograph these great animals.

For bird lovers, you will have a chance to see the over 300 species of birds that live near the river and surrounding areas.

Accommodation:

There are several lodges in this park which offers permanent tents and cottages.
