The journey

Made for the way you want to travel.

Travel north for a slower, more exclusive safari in the Samburu landscape. Game drives follow the Ewaso Nyiro river corridor and focus on northern specialties, elephants, big cats, birdlife and the changing light of the dry country. Add a community visit or conservation conversation where available and appropriate.

Special features: The Samburu Special Five—Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, Beisa oryx, and Somali ostrich—along with leopards, elephants, riverine scenery, and Samburu cultural experiences.
