Samburu National Park Reserve

About The Park

Located about 310 kms North of Nairobi and approximately 5-6 hours driving, Samburu National Reserve is probably Kenya’s best kept secret, featuring a wealth of species unique to the Northern Region. Visitors can view the ‘Special Five’ consisting of the Reticulated Giraffe, Beisa Oryx, Grevy’s Zebra, Gerenuk and the lesser known Kudu.

Best Time To Visit

The long dry season from July to October the best time to visit Samburu Reserve. You enjoy sunny is blue skies with almost no rain. Water sources are limited due to the absence of rainfall, so the animals congregate along the Ewaso River to drink and feed.

Wildlife

The reserve has a rich and diverse collection of wildlife with an abundance of the Samburu “special five” animals which includes the Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, Reticulated giraffe, Gerenuk and Beisa oryx. Other animals that can easily be spotted include elephants, Grant gazelle, impala, dik dik, waterbuck, hippos, olive baboons, leopards, lions, cheetahs, cape buffalo, eland, jackals, klipspringer, mongooses and bats.
