Samburu National Reserve
Samburu National Reserve is a premier 165-square-kilometre wildlife haven tucked into the arid northern frontier of Kenya, approximately 350 kilometres north of Nairobi. Flanked by the life-giving Ewaso Ng'iro River, it is world-renowned for its dramatic semi-desert landscapes, deep cultural roots with the nomadic Samburu people, and an incredibly dense wildlife population that thrives away from the heavier crowds of the southern parks. The reserve hosts over 70 species of mammals, including some unique species only found in a few locations. These include the Reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich and Gerenuk. Samburu also is home to over 450 species of birds.
Laikipia
Laikipia is a luxury safari camp located directly within the Buffalo Springs National Reserve in Kenya. This high-end lodge is celebrated for its premium amenities, spacious luxury tents, and unparalleled proximity to unique African wildlife. Because it sits right inside the conservancy, visitors can begin their game drives directly from the property doorstep.
You’ll always have an exclusive-use vehicle with your own safari guide, and be accompanied by professional wildlife photographer, Michael Snedic, to help you capture spectacular shots on your unforgettable adventure.
