The Samburu National Reserve is situated on the banks of the Ewaso Ngiro River in the dry northern reaches of Kenya. It is a hot and arid area characterised by a parched landscape of hills and plains. The presence, however, of the river and its shady trees, attracts plenty of wildlife, and giraffe, buffalo, waterbuck and zebra (including the endangered Grevy's zebra) from the surrounding savannah plains trek to the water to drink. Lion, leopard and cheetah are also quite easy to spot, thanks in part to the lack of grass cover.
Samburu is home to large herds of elephants, and the reserve is well known for its unique wildlife that only lives in the dry northern region of Kenya. Be on the look out for gerenuks – these odd, yet distinguished looking, gazelle have long necks, and stand on their hind legs to feed.
You have the next two nights at Sasaab enjoying game drives, guided walks, bird watching, stargazing, cultural village visit, sun downers, camel rides, yoga, fly-camp experience, quad biking, bush dining, spa treatments and in-room art sets.
