Day 1: Nairobi to Samburu
Your Safari Trip in Kenya begins with an early morning departure from Nairobi at 6 am after breakfast. At our office, you’ll receive a personalized safari briefing to prepare you for the adventure ahead. Heading north, the drive takes you across diverse terrain, passing rural farmlands, and crossing the equator into Kenya’s rugged northern frontier.
Enjoy lunch en route before continuing toward the semi-arid Samburu National Reserve, where your safari truly begins. In the late afternoon, embark on an exciting game drive across Samburu’s rolling plains and riverine forests. Search for lions, leopards, cheetahs, and buffalo alongside Samburu’s special “northern five”: the Beisa oryx, Grevy’s zebra, long-necked Gerenuk, reticulated giraffe, and Somali ostrich. As the sun sets, retreat to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay, surrounded by the wilderness.

Day 2: Full Day in Samburu
Rise to the sounds of the wild and set out for a full day of game viewing in Samburu, the highlight of your Safari Trip in Kenya. With a picnic lunch packed, you’ll spend the day exploring the reserve’s distinct landscapes—from arid plains to the Ewaso Nyiro River, which draws countless animals to its waters.
Morning and afternoon game drives reveal Samburu’s most iconic and rare species, including the Reticulated Giraffe found only in Kenya’s north. Spot the elegant Beisa oryx, the gazelle-like Gerenuk standing tall to feed, and the striking Somali ostrich with its vivid blue legs. Elephants are also a Samburu favorite, often seen in large herds crossing the plains. As evening falls, return to your camp for a hearty dinner and overnight, reflecting on the day’s extraordinary sightings.
