Exploring Samburu Game Reserve on a Kenya Safari
Overview
When planning a Kenya Safari or an African Safari Holiday, Samburu Game Reserve is a must-visit destination. It's less crowded than other Kenyan reserves and boasts unique wildlife species that you won't find elsewhere.
Unique Wildlife
While many safaris focus on the 'big five,' Samburu offers a chance to see rare animals such as the Grevy's Zebra, Beisa Oryx, Reticulated Giraffe, and Somali Ostrich. Of course, you can still spot elephants, lions, and cheetahs. Unfortunately, rhinos are absent due to poaching. However, the reserve is home to over 350 bird species, including Kingfishers, Sunbirds, Bee-eaters, Marabou Storks, Bateleurs, and Palm-nut Vultures.
The Usaso Nyiro River
Flowing through the reserve is the Usaso Nyiro River, a haven for numerous Nile crocodiles. These impressive creatures can grow up to 20 feet long and weigh over 1,500 pounds.
Location and Accessibility
Samburu Game Reserve is located north of Nairobi, spanning 40 square miles within the Northern Frontier District. The area is known for its tranquility, with no industrial presence. Historically, it was hard to reach, ensuring a peaceful environment today. The landscape features a blend of grasslands, thorn trees, riverine forests, and acacias.
Entry and Key Features
Visitors can enter through the Buffalo Springs and Ngae Mare gates. The reserve is dominated by the Koitogor and Ololokwe mountains. The 'Brown Water' river, originating from the Kenyan Highlands, attracts varied wildlife, creating a serene atmosphere.
Accommodation Options
Samburu Game Reserve offers several accommodations, including Bedouin Camp, Elephant Watch Camp, Larsen's Camp, Samburu Intrepids Club, Samburu Lodge, and Samburu Serena Lodge. Each provides a comfortable base for exploration.
Conclusion
For a less crowded yet enriching safari experience, Samburu Game Reserve is an excellent choice. Discover the unique wildlife and peaceful landscapes as part of your unforgettable African Safari Holiday.
