About Samburu National Reserve
A semi-arid reserve along the Ewaso Ng'iro river, home to the 'Samburu Special Five': reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, Somali ostrich, gerenuk, and Beisa oryx. This is the best place in Kenya to see species you won't find in the Mara, and the contrast of dry-country wildlife against the river is one of the most photogenic scenes in East Africa.
