This is the best park to fnd the Rhino, one of the most elusive members of the big 5.

Samburu has a very dry and arid landscape and is home to some different species of wildlife you won’t fnd in many other Kenyan parks including the Reticulated Giraffe, Gerenuk, Helmeted Guinea Fowl and Grevy’s Zebra. We will camp inside the reserve for the next two nights. B,L,D DAY 5: SAMBURU Today we have the whole day to explore Samburu National Reserve. The best time to do gamedrives here is in the early morning and late afternoon due to the high midday temperatures. The middle part of the day is best for relaxing! B,L,D DAY 6.
