Larsens Tented Camp Game Viewing
Samburu National Reserve is located 325km north of Nairobi in the hot and arid fringes of the northern region of Kenya. The reserve lies within the lands of the colourful Samburu people who are close relatives of the Maasai. The reserve harbours a number of wildlife species rarely found elsewhere in any numbers, such as Grevy's zebra, the reticulated giraffe and the Beisa Oryx. The long-necked gerenuk, elephants, lions, cheetah, buffalos, Grant's gazelle, dikdiks and waterbuck are some of the animals most commonly found searching for succulence among the reserve's withered scrubs. There are over 350 varieties of birds. These include the famous Somali ostrich, kingfisher, humming birds, eagles, vultures and guinea fowl.
