Samburu Game Reserve

Samburu Game Reserve is a captivating wilderness area situated in the arid northern region of Kenya. Covering an area of approximately 165 square kilometres, the reserve is part of the larger Samburu-Laikipia ecosystem and is named after the Samburu people, who inhabit the surrounding areas. Established in 1985, Samburu Game Reserve is renowned for its striking landscapes, diverse habitats, and unique wildlife species adapted to the harsh desert environment.

The Ewaso Nyiro River, the lifeline of the reserve, flows through its heart, providing vital water for wildlife and creating pockets of lush vegetation along its banks. Samburu Game Reserve offers visitors an authentic Kenya Safari experience in a remote and pristine wilderness setting.

Samburu Game Reserve is home to several species not commonly found in other parts of Kenya, including the reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, Somali ostrich, and gerenuk, often referred to as the "giraffe gazelle" due to its elongated neck.

The reserve's rocky outcrops and lush riverbanks provide a picturesque setting for game viewing, offering encounters with elephants, lions, leopards, and a variety of birdlife. Samburu also embraces cultural richness, as it is home to the Samburu people, adding a cultural dimension to the safari experience. With its captivating scenery and unique wildlife, Samburu Game Reserve Safari promises an off-the-beaten-path Kenya Safari Tour in the heart of Kenya.

Let us take you on a memorable adventure to the Samburu Game Reserve. We also offer various Kenya Safari to all other parks and reserves in Kenya.

“I travelled with Littlerock in July, and it was rewarding right from the pick-up at Entebbe to drop-off. The team ensured our itinerary ran smoothly, and their choice of accommodation, especially during the Gorilla trekking and the Queen Elizabeth visit, was top-notch.”
