2 nights Samburu and Buffalo Springs National Reserves Safari
2 NIGHTS SAMBURU AND BUFFALO SPRINGS NATIONAL RESERVES SAFARI
DAY 1 AND 2: SAMBURU AND BUFFALO SPRINGS NATIONAL RESERVES
We shall depart Nairobi in the morning and cruise through the metropolis, as our safari guide introduces you to the history and culture of “the city in the sun”. We shall head North, crossing the Equator towards Samburu; where our 2 nights Samburu and Buffalo Springs National Reserves Safari takes place. On the way we shall enjoy views of Mt. Kenya; Africa’s second-highest mountain. We shall also make a rest stop half-way for washrooms and to stretch our legs.
Soon we shall arrive in Samburu. This spectacular reserve hosts some very unique wildlife such as the Beisa Oryx, Gerenuk, Grevy’s Zebra and Reticulated Giraffe; most of which are not easy to find south of the Equator. We shall also explore the neighbouring Buffalo Springs National Reserve. This area is home to the Samburu tribe, and the neighbouring Turkana tribe.
The mighty Ewaso Ng’iro North River meanders its way across these reserves giving life to this beautiful land. Local Doum Palms tangle their branches in the sky as if waving at the people, and provide the landscape with a beautiful touch. Enjoy time in Samburu and Buffalo Springs tracking the local elephants and other members of the Big 5 on your safari drives.
Nights in Samburu.
DAY 3: SAMBURU TO NAIROBI
On this day, we shall enjoy a morning game drive. We shall then head to Nairobi, cruising across the beautiful countryside.
