Most animals are guaranteed to be seen in the dry season when they congregate at the Ewaso Nyiro River, their main source of water during the long dry season.Elephants are also spotted during this time and you can watch the Nile crocodiles swimming in the river.

Visit the local Samburu villages where you have the opportunity to interact with the colorful Samburu people in their traditional environment and experience their culture. This is a great opportunity to purchase traditional Samburu souvenirs, art and collectibles.
And did you know that the Samburu National Reserve was one of the two areas where conservationists George and Joy Adamson raised the lioness Elsa. Their story was made famous by the best-selling book and award-winning movie "Born Free".
