Samburu Game Reserve 2 Days/1 Night Kenya Flying Safari

Detailed Itinerary

Samburu 2 Days 1 Nights Flying Kenya Safari takes you to the road less traveled, journeying to the remote and dramatic Samburu region in Kenya’s old northern frontier. Samburu Reserve, established in 1985, is an arid, hilly region with riverine forests, doum palms, acacia woodland and scrub land, offering a dramatic and rugged landscape in a rather remote location of Kenya - which is precisely the attraction of this reserve - fewer tourists in a wildlife rich, desert like setting amidst a colorful local tribe.

Samburu has a permanent water supply that's like a magnet for the numerous animal species, that include the big Cats, herbivores and reptiles such as crocodiles. Samburu is one of the few parks where leopard spotting's are frequent. Samburu also offers superb bird-watching with numerous weaver birds, the martial eagle and the blue legged Somali ostrich.

Day 1
Nairobi – Samburu Game Reserve

This morning we travel by light aircraft to Kenya’s northern frontier. Wild and rugged, Samburu is fiercely beautiful with its arid savannahs watered by the lovely Uaso Nyiro River. It is also one of Kenya’s most protected areas and home to species only found north of the equator, from the reticulated giraffe to Grevy’s Zebras and Beisa Oryxes. We also enjoy our luxurious accommodations set beneath a canopy of acacia trees along the banks of the river.

Day 2
Samburu Game Reserve – Nairobi

Dawn breaks in golden bands as we start our day in the bush by scanning the river from our tent’s veranda with a cup of steaming coffee in hand. Before the dew is off the grass, we’re off in pursuit of the elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs that thrive in the reserve’s grasslands and acacia woodlands. This morning we also have an opportunity to visit a village of the Samburu people to witness the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience.

Bush flights are a pleasure in themselves and we wing our way back to Nairobi after breakfast.
