Samburu is the most popular reserve in northern Kenya. Wildlife viewing is good, and most big safari animals are easily spotted. The arid environment is home to a variety of north Kenya specials – both birds and mammals. Samburu offers great wildlife viewing and four of the Big Five are present. Rhinos are absent, but big herds of elephant cross the reserve.
Of the big cats, leopards are very rewarding with some habituated individuals giving high-quality sightings. Most interesting are the northern Kenya specials including Beisa Oryx, lesser kudu, reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra and the odd-looking gerenuk. Other parks that you will sample the adventure are Lake Nakuru Masai Mara, Africa’s leading wildlife destination.
