Day 02: Nairobi - Samburu
After early breakfast, pick up At the Hotel and depart Nairobi driving across the Kikuyu Farm lands Northwards to Samburu Game Reserve. Arrive at Samburu Simba Lodge in time for lunch.
After lunch and short rest, enjoy afternoon game viewing drive. Samburu National Reserve is worth a visit. It is situated on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in Kenya. This means plenty of water, trees and shade to attract wildlife like Elephants, Lions, Giraffes and Zebras from the surrounding Savannah plains. Leopards are also regularly spotted. The reserve is not particularly well – known and is therefore not too crowded – a huge plus in Kenya where so many reserves are often overflowing with tourists. It is often grouped together with the Buffalo Springs and Shaba National Reserves as they lie so close together.
