ITINERARY

DAY 1: NAIROBI TO SAMBURU KENYA: BEGIN THE JOURNEY NORTH

Depart Nairobi and head north toward the untamed beauty of Samburu Kenya. The journey reveals striking contrasts from lush farmland and towering mountains to semi arid plains dotted with acacias and volcanic rocks. As you enter Samburu National Reserve in Kenya, the landscape becomes dramatic, with dry riverbeds, red earth, and scattered doum palms painting a stunning picture.

Upon arrival at Samburu Sopa Lodge, settle into your room with sweeping views of wild terrain. Built in traditional Samburu style, the lodge offers an authentic yet comfortable stay in the heart of Samburu Kenya. With its elevated setting, it’s the perfect base for both wildlife viewing and magical stargazing.

Your afternoon game drive reveals the famed “Samburu Special Five” the reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, gerenuk, and beisa oryx species rarely found elsewhere in Kenya. Other iconic animals, including elephants, lions, leopards, and crocodiles, can often be seen near the Ewaso Nyiro River.

DAY 2: DISCOVER SAMBURU KENYA: WILDLIFE, CULTURE & STARGAZING

Begin your day with an early morning game drive in Samburu Kenya, when wildlife activity peaks and the golden light paints the savannah. With your expert guide, you’ll track animals while learning about the region’s unique ecosystem and cultural heritage.

Later, enjoy downtime at the lodge or visit a traditional Samburu village. Meeting the Samburu people closely related to the MaasaiCoffers insight into their colorful traditions, intricate beadwork, and nomadic lifestyle. This cultural experience adds depth to your Samburu Kenya safari.

At night, the adventure transforms into a breathtaking stargazing experience. Far removed from city lights, Samburu Kenya has some of the clearest skies in East Africa. The dry, clean air makes it ideal for observing constellations, the glowing Milky Way, and even meteor showers. Under the vast Samburu sky, the silence of the wilderness mixed with the sounds of nocturnal animals creates an unforgettable moment of awe.

This safari isn’t just a trip it’s a soul-stirring experience that stays with you long after it’s over.
