Samburu National Reserve Tours & Holidays

Pygmy Elephant, Borneo
Pygmy Elephant, Borneo

This conservation haven is said to be home to close to 900 elephants. Will you spot one on your safari adventure?

Kenya is one of the best destinations for an unforgettable safari holiday. This east African nation is home to Samburu National Reserve, a 64-square-mile landscape of palm groves, arid plains, jagged peaks, and riverine forests.

Situated on the banks of the Ewaso Ny’iro River, which rises to the west of Mount Kenya, Samburu is a peaceful, tranquil landscape. Despite this, it has a very wild population of some of the most incredible members of the animal kingdom. Venture into the reserve and you will get the chance to spot elephants, cheetahs, leopards, crocodiles, giraffes, and zebra. Some lesser-known beasts to look out for include the blue-legged Somali ostrich and the giraffe-necked gerenuk gazelle.
