Experience the Magic of Samburu National Reserve

Welcome to Samburu National Reserve, one of Kenya’s most enchanting and ecologically diverse national parks. Nestled in the southeastern corner of Samburu district in the rift valley province, Samburu National Reserve covers an area of 165 square kilometers, making it one of the smallest national parks in Kenya. This breathtaking reserve borders the Ewaso Nyiro River, locally known as “brown water,” which separates it from the Buffalo Springs National Reserve.

A Sanctuary of Rich Wildlife and Serenity

As you venture into Samburu National Reserve, you’ll be captivated by its diverse ecosystems, including savannah plains, rugged terrains, and lush riverine forests. The riverine forests along the Ewaso Nyiro River create a beautiful scenic view, providing a vital water source for the wildlife in this arid region. This reserve is a haven for numerous wildlife species, including the iconic big three cats (lion, cheetah, and African leopard), herds of elephants, cape buffalo, and hippopotamus.

Rare Encounters and Unique Species

One of the highlights of Samburu National Reserve is its unique wildlife sightings. During your game drives and nature walks, you’ll have the chance to spot the “Samburu Special Five”: Gravy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, and beisa Oryx. These rare and elusive species add an extra touch of magic to your safari experience.
