Day 1: Nairobi to Samburu – Solo Afternoon Game Drive

Nairobi to Samburu – Solo Afternoon Game Drive

Your 3-day midrange solo traveler Samburu safari begins when our guide collects you from your Nairobi hotel or another agreed location. You will travel approximately 320–350 km in about 6–7 hours through cultivated highland farmland, central Kenya’s rural landscapes and increasingly dry northern scrub before reaching Samburu’s acacia woodland and open savannah. After lunch and check-in at your comfortable midrange lodge or tented camp, our safari continues with a 2–3-hour afternoon game drive. You will search for elephants, Grevy’s zebras, reticulated giraffes, gerenuks and big cats while enjoying the flexibility available to an independent traveller.
