Samburu Special Five

Samburu National Reserve in Kenya's arid north is home to the "Samburu Special Five" - unique species found only in this region: the reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, Beisa oryx, gerenuk, and Somali ostrich. These distinct animals make Samburu a must-visit for wildlife enthusiasts.

The Ewaso Ng'iro River forms the reserve's lifeline, attracting elephants, crocodiles, and diverse wildlife to its palm-fringed banks. The dramatic landscape of ochre-colored hills, riverine forests, and open plains creates a distinctly different safari atmosphere from Kenya's southern parks.

The Samburu people, relatives of the Maasai, add cultural depth to the experience. Their colorful dress, distinctive hairstyles, and traditional lifestyle offer fascinating cultural interactions. Samburu offers a true off-the-beaten-path Kenya safari experience.
