Samburu Special Five Safari
North of Mount Kenya the country changes: drier, redder and emptier, and the wildlife changes with it. Samburu holds five animals you will not find in the southern parks, and collecting the Special Five, Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk and beisa oryx, gives this safari a treasure-hunt feel that seasoned safari-goers love.
The Ewaso Nyiro river is the park’s spine, and everything comes to it: elephant herds digging for water, leopards in the riverine figs, and Samburu warriors bringing cattle down at dusk. Four days lets you explore both Samburu and the quieter Buffalo Springs bank.

Tour Plan
North past Mount Kenya, crossing the equator with a stop at Nanyuki, arriving for an afternoon drive along the river.
A full day ticking off the northern specials, with the gerenuk standing on hind legs in the thorn scrub usually the last to fall.
Morning on the southern bank's springs, afternoon working the big fig trees where Samburu's leopards laze.
Early drive and breakfast, then the road back to Nairobi with lunch at the equator.
