🐾 3-Day Samburu Budget Safari – Explore Kenya’s Untamed North

From $710 USD/Person – Private Safari with SafariSpark Adventures

🏜️ Discover the Rare & Rugged Beauty of Samburu National Reserve

Journey off the beaten path to Samburu National Reserve, one of Kenya’s hidden safari gems. Located in the rugged northern frontier, Samburu is famous for its unique wildlife species not commonly seen in other parks—such as the reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, Beisa oryx, and the long-necked gerenuk.

This 3-day Samburu safari is perfect for adventurous travelers seeking something different, with affordable comfort, exclusive wildlife sightings, and authentic cultural encounters with the Samburu people.

🗓️ Samburu Safari Itinerary – 3 Days / 2 Nights

Day 1: Nairobi to Samburu National Reserve

🚐 Depart Nairobi early morning with your personal driver-guide from SafariSpark. Travel north through the equator line and into Kenya’s semi-arid northern region, where the landscape transforms into dry scrubland and rocky hills.

🦓 Arrive at Samburu National Reserve in time for a hot lunch at Umoja Tented Camp. After a short rest, set off for an afternoon game drive, where you’ll spot rare species like the vulturine guinea fowl, Grevy’s zebra, and reticulated giraffe.

🌙 Dinner and overnight at Umoja Tented Camp – a simple yet comfortable camp near the reserve.

Day 2: Full Day Game Drives in Samburu

☀️ Wake up to the sounds of the wild and enjoy a full day of game viewing in this spectacular and less-crowded park.

Explore the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River, where elephants and big cats often gather, and look out for Samburu’s “Special Five”—species found only in this region.

🍱 Picnic lunch served in the wild.
🏕️ In the afternoon, there’s an optional visit to a traditional Samburu village, where you’ll learn about their semi-nomadic lifestyle, colorful attire, and rich culture.

🌙 Return to Umoja Tented Camp for dinner and overnight.

Day 3: Samburu to Nairobi

🌄 Head out for a sunrise game drive—your last chance to spot predators or catch the morning light on the dramatic northern landscape.

🍽️ Return to camp for breakfast, then begin your journey back to Nairobi, with lunch en route.

Arrive in the afternoon, and your Samburu safari ends with unforgettable memories from SafariSpark Adventures.
