Dry northern country and wildlife found nowhere further south.

Samburu National Reserve

What makes it special

Samburu National Reserve sits north of the equator along the Ewaso Ng’iro river, in arid country of red earth, doum palms and distant mountains.

It is home to species adapted to the dry north: reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich and the long-necked gerenuk.
