Weekend Getaway – Samburu

1.You can see the Samburu 5. Whilst the bigger, and more expected animals (the likes of elephants, giraffe, the big cats etc.) can be seen daily inside the reserve, guests have the remarkable opportunity to see the Samburu Five – five rare and endemic animals to the Samburu ecosystem. These include the reticulated giraffe, the Somali ostrich, the gerenuk, the Beisa oryx and the Grevy’s zebra.
2.You can visit the Samburu Tribe who, like the Masai, are nomadic pastoralists, moving from one place to another following patterns of rainfall in search of fresh pasture and water for their livestock. The Samburu Tribe are easily identified as they wear bright and colourful attire and the women adorn themselves in beaded necklaces and jewelry.
3.The park’s landscape is very photogenic. The river Ewaso Ngiro is the heart of the park and contrasts against the dry and arid desert-like soil that shines bright red under the African sun.
