Samburu

Kenya

safari

Samburu is Kenya's wild, remote northern frontier. The landscape is rugged and dramatic, with red-earth terrain cut by the Ewaso Ng'iro river, the lifeline for all wildlife here. This is the only place you'll find the Samburu Special Five, including the reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, and the gerenuk. The Samburu people's vibrant culture adds an unforgettable human dimension.
