Samburu National Park Safari in
Kenya
Dry, rugged and stunning, Samburu’s
landscape is at once stark and sensual, with its iconic loaf shaped
Lolokowe Mountain and hills spreading in every horizon. Its life lung is
the Usao Nyiro River coursing through its craggy terrain full of stone,
thorn bush and the forked doum palms.
In this arid zone where water is
scarce and the land baked by the eternal sun, herds of elephants and the
big cats roam the plains with the Samburu special - the Reticulated
giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich and the long necked
antelope, the gerenuk easily seen despite its harsh climes.
The
camp's location deep inside Samburu National Reserve
guarantees close encounters with the regions wildlife,
including Elephant, Lion, Leopard and Samburu's famous 'five'
- the rare reticulated giraffe, long-necked gerenuk
antelope, somali ostrich, grevy's zebra and the majestic
beisa oryx.
