Samburu National Reserve Holidays

Samburu National Park safari holidays offer a more remote and rugged safari experience in the traditional homeland of the Samburu people. This wild region is characterised by diverse landscapes, from lush riverine forests to arid semi-desert plains.

The Ewaso Nyiro River flows through the reserve, attracting an abundance of wildlife including elephants, big cats, crocodiles and hippos. Samburu is also renowned for species unique to the area, such as Grevy’s zebra and the reticulated giraffe.

Neighbouring Shaba National Reserve and the private Kalama Conservancy share similar landscapes and wildlife while attracting fewer visitors. Shaba is also famous as a filming location for Born Free and Out of Africa.

Trailfinders offers a range of Samburu safari holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to visit Samburu or Shaba on a small group safari, a fly in safari or as part of a longer trip on a small group adventure tour – they are the perfect people to ask.
