4-Day / 3-Night Samburu & Buffalo Springs Camping Safari
Day 1: Nairobi – Drive to Samburu & Afternoon Game Drive
Depart Nairobi early and journey north through scenic highlands and the semi-arid frontier to Samburu National Reserve (approx. 6–7 hours). Arrive at your campsite in time for lunch and a short rest. In the afternoon, enjoy your first game drive in search of the “Samburu Special Five” — Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, and gerenuk. Return to camp for dinner under the stars.
Day 2: Full-Day Safari in Samburu & Buffalo Springs
Spend the day exploring both Samburu and Buffalo Springs Reserves, separated by the Ewaso Nyiro River. Embark on morning and afternoon game drives with a picnic lunch in the bush. Keep an eye out for elephants, leopards, and lions, along with vibrant birdlife. After a rewarding day, head back to camp for a freshly prepared dinner and a night in the wild.
Day 3: Cultural Visit & Leisure or Optional Nature Walk
Start with a relaxed breakfast, followed by a cultural visit to a local Samburu village, where you’ll learn about traditional customs and way of life. Spend the rest of the day at leisure at the camp or take an optional guided nature walk along the riverbanks with your guide. Enjoy a peaceful evening with stories around the campfire.
Day 4: Sunrise Game Drive & Return to Nairobi
Enjoy a final early morning game drive, then return to camp for breakfast and pack up. Begin your journey back to Nairobi, arriving in the late afternoon with drop-off at your hotel or airport.
