Destination guide

Samburu

A distinctive northern Kenya safari landscape of rugged hills, riverine habitat and rare wildlife.

Samburu offers a different safari atmosphere from the southern circuit, with rugged hills, dry open country and the Ewaso Nyiro River creating a striking setting. It is a rewarding choice for repeat safari travellers, photographers and guests looking for a more characterful northern Kenya route.

The area can be combined with Laikipia or Nairobi, subject to current access and flight schedules. Share whether your priority is wildlife, scenery, photography or a private conservancy feel and we will request suitable options.
