Exclusive road vehicle and guide · Written itinerary
A place with its own character
Samburu National Reserve brings a different rhythm to a Kenya safari. Along the Ewaso Nyiro River, palms and woodland meet a landscape of scrub, open plains and rocky hills.
The three-day Samburu itinerary includes two nights in the reserve area. Longer northern circuits connect Samburu with Meru, Ol Pejeta and the highlands.
Start with a route
The safari collection includes dedicated destination stays and multi-park Kenya journeys. Each trip page sets out the daily route, overnight stops and included experiences.

Private road safaris use an exclusive vehicle and guide. The itinerary and quotation specify accommodation, park entries, transfers and selected activities.
Add a night, change the route or tell us what matters most. Use these itineraries as a starting point for a private trip.
Look a little closer
Each destination has its own landscapes, wildlife habitats and activities. Private guiding follows the booked itinerary and the permitted routes.
Look for reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, gerenuk, Beisa oryx and Somali ostrich—the species often called the Samburu Special Five.
The Ewaso Nyiro shapes the reserve. Explore permitted riverside routes for elephants, birds and the quieter details of this dryland ecosystem.
Watch guineafowl, hornbills and animal tracks as well as larger mammals. Let your interests set the pace of a private game drive.
Samburu, Buffalo Springs and Shaba are separate reserves. Your quote should state exactly which entries and areas are included.
Choose a base that makes sense
Camp and lodge location determines access to wildlife areas and the length of transfers. The accommodation booking identifies the property, room category and meal plan.
Riverside camps occupy different positions along the Ewaso Nyiro. Shade, river frontage and vehicle access vary with the property’s setting.
The county lists Samburu Sopa and Samburu Intrepids among reserve accommodation options. Confirm the room and location in your quote.
Choose your Samburu nights alongside Meru or Ol Pejeta rather than adding too many long transfer days.
The safari total covers the items listed in the quotation: accommodation, meals, private transport, guiding, entries, activities and transfers. Rates vary by season, party size and room arrangement.
A little planning goes a long way
The three-day Samburu itinerary includes two nights in the reserve area. Longer northern circuits connect Samburu with Meru, Ol Pejeta and the highlands.
Expect a warmer, drier setting than Kenya’s highlands. Rainfall changes river flow and access, so we plan drive routes around recent conditions.
Entry fees follow the park or conservancy authority, visitor category, age, travel dates and activities. The safari quotation itemises the entries included in the itinerary.
Park road safaris use an exclusive vehicle and guide. Tour minivans and Land Cruiser 4x4s provide the transport options, with the vehicle matched to the itinerary and party.

We were able to see so many animals up close. In addition to seeing all the big 5, he pointed out beautiful birds and all kinds of other wildlife. Going before the high season felt like a big win. We didn’t see the wildebeest migration, but we also didn’t have to battle crowds and it felt like we had the park to ourselves. The lodge he booked for us was amazing, and he made our pickup and drop off a seamless experience…

Very knowledgeable about all the animals. Good driver. Highly recommend Utamandani courtyard restaurant for lunch. Went in May so park wasn't too full. Grasses were high though because of rainy season limiting view of some animals. Great for a half day excursion when in nairobi. Not the same as going for an overnight on serngheti though…
