SAMBURU AND SURROUNDS, KENYA
The Samburu/Buffalo Springs and Shaba National Reserves are among the most pleasant in Kenya, and relatively undiscovered. The permanent forest shade on the banks of the Ewaso Niyo river offer wonderful year-round game viewing and the birdlife is unusually numerous.
ABOUT SAMBURU AND SURROUNDS
Samburu and Surrounds
The Samburu is a narrow plain giving way to rocky hillsides which are home to leopard. Buffalo Springs is mainly a rolling plain of volcanic soils with dry riverbeds lined by doum palms. It is the unique wildlife, including the gerenuk, Grevy’s zebra, beisa oryx and reticulated giraffe that attracts many visitors to this area.
A highlight of these Parks is watching large numbers of elephant bathing in the Ewaso Nyiro River. Shaba, which lies to the east of the other two reserves, is scenically dramatic, with the River running through deep gorges and waterfalls. Mount Bodech and Shaba Hill dominate the landscape, and the plains are dotted with springs, small swamps and rocky hills.
Known as the land of the safari for good reason, Kenya is an ideal African safari destination. Witness the spectacle of the Great Migration in the Masai Mara, experience spectacular game viewing in the National Parks of Meru, Samburu/Buffalo Springs/Shaba, Amboseli, Aberdare and Tsavo. Gaze in awe at the magnificent Great Rift Valley, explore the rugged Kenyan Coast and visit the bustling city of Nairobi.
Situated above the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River, in the arid heart of Samburu land, is SaSaab - a tranquil setting, which offers views towards the Laikipia plateau and of Mt Kenya.
Renowned as a pioneer of luxury camping in one of the world’s last truly great wilderness areas, Samburu Intrepids is situated on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River in the arid heart of Samburu National Reserve, overlooking the riverbanks where herds of elephant, buffalo and zebra come daily to drink.
10 chic canvas bedrooms are set raised off the ground with breathtaking views of the surrounding hills. The camp overlooks a large natural spring where elephant and lion jostle for watering rights with herds of buffalo and the rare desert species of Beisa Oryx, Reticulated Giraffe and Grevy’s Zebra.
