Why this trip
Rugged hills, red earth and a river where all life gathers: Samburu in northern Kenya is drier and broader than the famous savannas in the south. The Ewaso Nyiro winds as a green ribbon through the reserve, and on its banks elephants, crocodiles and antelopes rest in the midday heat. For couples on their honeymoon this is a place of space and stillness. Animals live here that are missing further south, the so-called Special Five: reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, Somali ostrich, beisa oryx and gerenuk.
The game drive in Samburu National Reserve begins early, and on the other side of the river lies Buffalo Springs National Reserve with a pool to cool off in. In the Kalama Community Conservancy visitors meet people who protect the land together. From July to October the conditions for wildlife viewing are best. Camps such as Sarara Camp, Elephant Bedroom Camp or Samburu Intrepids lie by the water.
Masai Mara, Amboseli and Lake Nakuru are possible continuations as neighbours, and Nairobi serves as the starting point. Honeymoon plans the safari with you in a video call, with short drives and long evenings by the fire.
