Samburu National Reserve

One of the famous Safari destinations in East Africa, Samburu National Reserve is located in Northern Kenya and is a premier game reserve situated on the banks of the Ewaso Ng'iro River. This vast expanse of remote, pristine wilderness measures 165 square kilometers in area and borders the Ewaso Ng'iro River to the south, which separates it from the Buffalo Springs National Reserve. Samburu Reserve is a unique wildlife conservation haven famous for an abundance of rare species of animals such as the Grevy Zebra, Somali Ostrich, Reticulated Giraffe, Gerenuk, and the Beisa Oryx. The reserve is also home to a population of close to 900 Elephants. Large predators such as the Lion, Leopard, and Cheetah are an important attraction (Kamunyak, the famous Lioness that adopted a baby Oryx, is a resident in the reserve). Samburu is, in fact, one of the better locations in Kenya to spot a Leopard. Wild dog sightings are also a common attraction to this unique protected area, and Birdlife is abundant with over 450 recorded species
