Samburu Game Reserve
Samburu National Reserve is not very well-known, but definitely 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 elephant, lion, giraffe and zebra from the surrounding savannah plains. Leopards are also regularly spotted.
As 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.
Samburu is characterised by a semi-desert region. It is less popular with visitors and dominated by dry bush. It is one of the rare places where you can find reticulated giraffes, Grevy's zebra and Geren
Kuks (gazelles with giraffes' necks).
