Kenya’s north, drier and quieter, with five animals found almost nowhere else in the country.
Info
Samburu trades the crowds of the southern circuit for red dust, doum palms and the Ewaso Nyiro river, home to the Special Five: Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk and beisa oryx. Elephant herds and leopards both favour the riverine forest, and the pace here feels noticeably wilder than the Mara or Amboseli.
