Samburu National Reserve, nestled in northern Kenya, offers a unique safari experience characterized by its rugged landscapes and rich biodiversity. Spanning approximately 165 square kilometers, the reserve is traversed by the Ewaso Ng'iro River, which sustains a variety of wildlife and lush vegetation along its banks. Samburu is renowned for its distinct wildlife, including species such as the Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, and Somali ostrich, which are less commonly found in other parts of Kenya.

The reserve's semi-arid environment, dotted with acacia trees and rocky outcrops, provides a stark yet beautiful backdrop for wildlife viewing. Its remote location contributes to a more secluded and intimate safari experience, away from the more frequented tourist paths. The Ewaso Ng'iro River not only supports the diverse fauna but also offers picturesque scenes, especially during sunrise and sunset.
