Day 1: Nairobi to Samburu – Relaxed Afternoon Safari

Nairobi to Samburu – Relaxed Afternoon Safari

Our guide will collect you from Nairobi in a private safari vehicle and begin the approximately 320–350 km journey to Samburu National Reserve. The usual drive takes 6–7 hours, although additional washroom and comfort stops may extend it to around 7–8 hours. You will travel through green highland farmland before entering northern Kenya’s dry scrub, acacia bush and open savannah. After lunch and check-in at your comfortable midrange lodge, you may rest before taking a gentle 2–3-hour afternoon game drive in search of elephants, giraffes, Grevy’s zebras, antelopes and predators.
