Your adventure begins in Nairobi, the vibrant heart of Kenya, where you’ll be met for a scheduled pickup. Set off in a comfortable mini safari van or a rugged 4X4 Toyota Land Cruiser, heading toward the captivating Samburu National Reserve, a semi-arid gem that boasts wildlife found nowhere else. En route, pause briefly at the Nanyuki Equator crossing, marking the transition into the northern hemisphere before pressing on to arrive in Samburu in time for a well-earned hot lunch. Then, as the golden afternoon light spreads across the reserve, embark on your first game drive, immersing yourself in the untouched wilderness. Keep your eyes peeled—this is your introduction to the Samburu Special Five: the Grevy’s zebra, Beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, and the elusive gerenuk. With luck, you may spot all five as the sun dips below the horizon. Return to your lodge or campsite for dinner and a restful overnight stay.

Today is dedicated to an immersive exploration of Samburu’s vast landscapes, where the Samburu Special Five roam freely alongside a stunning array of wildlife. Journey through riverbanks lined with towering doum palms, watching herds of African elephants seeking refuge from the sun at the lifeline of the reserve, the Ewaso Ng’iro River. Seek out the sleek cheetahs on the prowl, majestic lions surveying their territory, and the unpredictable wild dogs darting through the brush. With the flexibility of a private safari, you can choose between a full-day wildlife excursion or two separate game drives, pausing midday for a delicious hot lunch at your lodge or camp. As the evening sets in, opt for additional activities like guided nature walks, cultural visits with the local Samburu people, or a relaxing retreat at your lodge, available at an extra cost. After an exhilarating day in the land of the Samburu Special Five, settle in for dinner and a peaceful night.
No safari is truly complete without a final dawn experience.
