Samburu National Park is located 325 kms north of Nairobi in the hot and arid northern region of Kenya and is 165 sq. km in extent.

Samburu Safari

The first thing you'll notice on your Samburu Safari is that it is worlds apart from the other parks in Kenya. It is a hot and arid area characterised by a parched landscape of hills and plains.

Good news for the safari enthusiast is that the refreshing waters of the Ewaso Ngiro River run through Samburu and attract plenty of wildlife - including elephant, lion, giraffe and zebra. Leopards are also regularly spotted.

Samburu is home to large herds of elephants and elusive leopards. It is also well known for providing the opportunity to see wildlife that only lives in the dry north of Kenya. Your safari wouldn't be complete without seeing a gerenuk - an odd yet distinguished gazelle with a long neck, which stands on its hind legs to feed.

There is a good selection of safari lodges and luxury tented camps in the Samburu Region                Click on image to view more details
