3 Days Samburu Flight Safari – Wild & Untamed Kenya
Overview
Discover the rugged beauty of Northern Kenya with our 3 Days Samburu Flight Safari — an exhilarating journey from Nairobi to the wild landscapes of Samburu National Reserve. Instead of long road transfers, soar above the dramatic Rift Valley and Laikipia Plateau on a short scenic flight before touching down in Samburu.
With Wildbud Safaris, you’ll encounter rare species found only in Samburu — the “Samburu Special Five” (Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk, and Beisa oryx) — while enjoying luxury camps and unforgettable cultural encounters with the Samburu people.
