Camp along the Ewaso Ng'iro river in the rugged, semi-arid lands of the north.
Overview
Samburu offers a distinctly different landscape from southern Kenya. The arid, dramatic scenery is bisected by a life-giving river. Camp under doum palms and watch elephants come to drink.
What Makes It Special
Unique northern wildlife species (Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe) and the stark, beautiful desert landscape.
