Overview
Located in northern Kenya, northeast of Laikipia County, Samburu National Reserve spans 64 square miles and is home to some of the rarest wildlife species in Africa. This remote and rugged reserve is renowned for the Samburu Special Five; the Somali ostrich, beisa oryx, gerenuk, Grevy’s zebra and reticulated giraffe, species found only in this region. The Samburu people, who co-exist with the park’s abundant wildlife, play a vital role in its conservation.
Accommodation in Samburu National Reserve ranges from luxury game lodges and private villas to well-appointed tented camps. Each offers a unique safari experience, with rooms and cottages designed to suit various travel styles. Many camps are strategically positioned to maximize wildlife viewing, so close that guests can often spot animals right from their tent windows. Whether you’re seeking comfort, adventure or cultural connection, Samburu offers a safari experience that’s both authentic and unforgettable.
