Park & reserve

Samburu the rugged north

Kenya's northern frontier: reticulated giraffe, Grevy zebra, gerenuk and a different rhythm.

Why it matters

Samburu feels like a different country. The species are unique, the landscapes are dry and dramatic, and the cultural encounters are less staged than in busier parks.

Add Samburu to a Kenya circuit for unusual mammals, striking scenery and genuine northern culture.

Samburu Special Five

Reticulated giraffe, Grevy zebra, gerenuk, Beisa oryx and Somali ostrich are found here and almost nowhere else.

Ewaso Nyiro River

A ribbon of green in an arid landscape that draws elephant, buffalo, leopard and crocodile.

Mathews Range

Forest-covered mountains north of Samburu offer hiking, butterflies and remote safari camps.

Authentic villages

Cultural visits in Samburu feel intimate and less commercial than in busier southern parks.
