Nanyuki Safaris Samburu National Reserve Full Day Excursion

Nanyuki Safaris Samburu National Reserve full-day excursion is a 1 day wildlife holiday to Samburu National Reserve in Samburu Country. This one-day safari departs from the Mount Kenya region which includes towns such as Timau, Nanyuki, Naru Moru, Meru, Nyeri, Mweiga, Nyahururu, and Laikipia.

Samburu National Reserve is located only 140 km from Nanyuki and makes a great 1-day wildlife escape from Mt Kenya region. Samburu Game Park is a rugged and semi-desert park located in the Samburu district in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya.

The local populations of the neighboring communities are of the Rendille, Borana, and the Samburu tribe, a descendant clan of the Masai. Cattle, as well as sheep, goats, and camels, are of utmost importance to the Samburu culture and way of life.

The Samburu paint their faces using striking patterns to accentuate their facial features & neighboring tribes, admire the beauty of the Samburu people and called them “Samburu” which means “butterfly”

Samburu National Reserve is relatively small in size compared to other Kenyan parks measuring approximately 104 square km (approximately. 65 square miles). The climate in Samburu is hot and dry during the day, and cool during nights and evenings. Average maximum temperatures are around 30°C (85°F) with minimum temperatures of approximately 20°C.

Samburu was where George and Joy Adamson raised Elsa the Lioness and wrote the famous best-selling book and movie “Born Free”. The Uaso Nyiro River cuts through this reserve, drawing a big population of wildlife to the park.

Wildlife in the park includes the Nile crocodile, the long-necked gerenuk, Grevy’s zebra, the reticulated giraffe, beisa oryx, leopard, cheetahs, lion, elephant, buffalo, impalas, hippos, dik-diks. Birdlife is as plentiful as wildlife at Samburu National Reserve, which boasts over 350 different species of birds including vultures, kingfishers, marabous, bateleurs, guinea fowl, Somali ostriches, and others.
