3-Day Ashnil Samburu Safari

Day 1: Nairobi – Samburu National Reserve

Pick-up from your hotel or the airport in the morning and drive northward to the Central Highlands where you cross the Equator as you approach the grand Mount Kenya, a latent volcano with a luminous cap of snow and ice. After a short stopover, proceed with your drive to Samburu National Reserve in Kenya’s semi-desert, rugged northern frontier. En route to your lodge, take pleasure in your first game-viewing drive. Settle into your comfortable lodge in the heart of the reserve in time for dinner.

Day 2: Samburu National Reserve

Prepare yourself for an amazing region along the Ewaso Nyiro River. Samburu is home to some of Africa’s rarest game species. The river’s permanent waters abound with crocodiles and hippos and attract plenty of wildlife, including the shy oryx beisa, Grevy’s zebra, the long-necked gerunuk antelope, and the Somali ostrich. Cheetah, leopard, and lion are also found in the reserve. You will spend your morning game viewing, which commences after breakfast when the animals are most active. Get ready for photo shooting and coverage as your game spotter leads you in search of animals, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to photograph your sightings. Retire to the lodge for lunch and relaxation. In the evening, go forth on additional game viewing.
