Samburu National Reserve

Rugged and remote, Samburu National Reserve lies within the fascinating semi-desert area of Kenya’s Northern Frontier District. The Reserve is physically dramatic with the great Ololokwe table mountain in the background. The central feature of the reserve is the winding and looping Ewaso Nyiro River. On either side of the river, a green ribbon presents a gallery of forest acacia, doum palm and Tamarind, which act as host to a multitude of birdlife.

Some of Kenya’s rarer species like the long-necked gerenuk, Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, beisa Oryx and blue-shanked Somali ostrich can be seen here.
