Northern Kenya

Samburu

Arid northern landscapes, the Ewaso Ng'iro river and distinctive northern species.

Samburu's semi-desert terrain feels very different from the southern parks. The Ewaso Ng'iro River is a lifeline for wildlife.

The region is home to species adapted to drier country, often called the 'Samburu Special Five', and to Samburu communities with a rich cultural heritage.

When to go

Typically best in the dry seasons, though the region is visited year-round.
