Samburu Game Reserve 3 Days/2 Nights Kenya Flying Safari

Samburu Game Reserve Flying Safari for 3 Days / 2 Nights wings you to Samburu National Reserve. On arrival you will be met and transferred to your safari lodge or tented camp, where you will stay on a Full Board basis and have morning and evening game drives in a 4 wheel drive safari vehicle, to explore the surrounding area and track down wildlife. Within the Samburu Reserve we use either the Samburu Intrepids Camp or Larsen's Camp, both of which offer high standards of comfort in a traditional safari camp setting and are situated in shady areas beside the Ewaso Nyiro River. Tents are sited on a wooden platform under thatched roof. All have en-suite bathrooms with normal flush lavatories and hot showers. In both camps there is a restaurant, bar, lounge and swimming pool.

 

An exclusive alternative is Sasaab, comprising 9 Moroccan style guest tents on a hillside overlooking the Ewaso Nyiro River in an area owned by a Samburu community. An exciting new addition is the recently opened and luxurious Saruni Lodge in the Kalama Conservancy adjacent to the Samburu Reserve. Activities include night and morning game drives in Kalama Conservancy, rock climbing, professionally-led game walks, bush dinners and star gazing.

 

The traditions and semi-nomadic heritage of the local Samburu people are an important part of the experience. Led by Samburu guides, guests at Saruni enjoy a feeling of exclusivity, of having an incredibly large area totally on their own, and a high level of comfort and tailor-made service. We can also arrange accommodation in Samburu Serena or Samburu Lodge. These bigger safari lodges offer all the amenities of a comfortable hotel in the bush but are more geared to mass tourism.

Detailed itinerary

Day 1
Nairobi – Samburu National 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 Larsens Tented Camp, our luxurious hostelry set beneath a canopy of acacia trees along the banks of the river.

Overnight at Larsens Tented Camp or similar
Meal Plan: {Lunch & Dinner}

 

Day 2

Discover Samburu National Reserve
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. And so the day is spent in alternating pursuits of exploration in the bush and relaxation in our cozy camp.

Overnight at Larsens Tented Camp or similar

Day 3
Samburu – Nairobi
We enjoy an early morning game drive and return to the lodge or camp for breakfast and then we fly to Nairobi. We have lunch at our Nairobi Hotel. The rest of your afternoon is at leisure. You might take this opportunity to visit a few stores which have displays and items pertaining to Kenya and Tanzania's cultural heritage, and offers unique carvings, artifacts, clothing and gem stones to augment and expand the experiences you've had on your visit.

As we leave Africa we know that the old adage is true: you may leave Africa, but Africa will never leave you.
