Day 1: Nairobi to Samburu – New Year Safari Adventure

Nairobi to Samburu – New Year Safari Adventure

Our midrange New Year safari begins with collection from your Nairobi hotel before travelling approximately 320–350 km to Samburu National Reserve. The road journey takes about 6–7 hours and passes through fertile highland farmland, rural settlements and dry northern scrub before entering the reserve’s acacia woodland and open savannah. After checking into your midrange lodge or tented camp, our guide will take you on a 2–3-hour afternoon game drive in search of elephants, Grevy’s zebras, reticulated giraffes, gerenuks and big cats. You will return for dinner and the lodge’s available New Year programme.
