Samburu National Reserve
What you will find on this page about Lake Nakuru National Park:
 Samburu National Reserve is situated on the banks of the
Ewaso Nyiro River. Samburu National Reserve is a dry, hot and arid area characterized
by a rugged, parched landscape of hills and savannah plains. The presence of
the Ewaso Nyiro river and its shady trees in Samburu National
Reserve attracts plenty of wildlife like
giraffe, buffalo, elephant, gerenuk, Kirk's dik-dik, impala,
waterbuck and common zebra as well as the endangered Grevy's
zebra. Lion, leopard and cheetah are also quite easy to spot,
thanks in part to the lack of grass cover.
Around 365 species of birds including eagles, Bateleur eagles,
vultures, ostriches, kingfishers, sunbirds, hornbills,
starlings, marabous, guinea fowl and many many others have been
recorded and the Ewaso Nyiro River area, home to hippos and a
huge population of crocodiles, is particularly rewarding.
Wildlife unique to the northern parks and reserves of Kenya and
to be found in Samburu are the Grevy's zebra, reticulated
giraffe, Beisa onyx, Somali ostrich and the long necked gerenuk.
Samburu National Reserve was one of the two areas where
George and Joy Adamson did their research on lions and raised
'Elsa the Lioness', made famous by Joy's bestselling book and
later also award-winning movie 'Born Free'. Across
the river, connected by a bridge, is the Buffalo Springs
National Reserve and nearby is the swampy wilderness of the
Shaba National Reserve. That makes it easy to combine Samburu on
your individual Safari with Buffalo Springs and/or Shaba.
