6 Days / 5 Nights: Samburu – Aberdare (Forest Tree Lodge) – Amboseli – Nairobi

Samburu National Reserve is not very well-known, but definitely worth a visit. It is situated on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in Kenya.

Day 1
Nairobi _ Samburu Game Reserve

This morning we travel by road to KenyaÍs northern frontier. Wild and rugged, Samburu is fiercely beautiful with its arid savannahs watered by the lovely Uaso Nyiro River. It is also one of KenyaÍs most protected areas and home to species only found north of the equator, from the reticulated giraffe to GrevyÍs zebras and Beisa oryxes. We also enjoy Larsens Tented Camp or Samburu Intrepids Camp, our luxurious hostelry set beneath a canopy of acacia trees along the banks of the river.

Day 2
Samburu Game Reserve

Dawn breaks in golden bands as we start our day in the bush by scanning the river from our tentÍs veranda with a cup of steaming coffee in hand. Before the dew is off the grass, weÍre off in pursuit of the elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs that thrive in the reserveÍs grasslands and acacia woodlands. And so the day is spent in alternating pursuits of exploration in the bush and relaxation in our cozy camp.
