Upon arrival, you’ll be met by your guide and transferred to your lodge in time for lunch. In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive through Samburu, home to rare wildlife species found nowhere else in Kenya — such as the Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, and Beisa oryx.

Your guide from Wildbud Safaris will help you spot the “Samburu Special Five” and share insights about local conservation efforts.
Between game drives, relax at your camp or enjoy a swim overlooking the Ewaso Nyiro River. In the evening, gather for sundowners with breathtaking views of the northern wilderness — a highlight of your Kenya wildlife safari.
