ITNINERAY 

DAY 1: NAIROBI: ABERDARE NATIONAL PARK

Your Aberdare National Park safari adventure begins with a morning departure from Nairobi, heading north through fertile highlands, where you’ll pass rows of tea and coffee plantations blanketing the hillsides. As the landscape transforms into misty mountain forests, you’ll enter Aberdare National Park, a lush, elevated ecosystem home to some of Kenya’s most elusive wildlife.

On arrival, you’ll check in to a unique tree lodge The Ark, built to overlook a floodlit waterhole. The rest of the day is spent relaxing in the serene forest environment.

DAY 2: ABERDARE: LAKE NAKURU NATIONAL PARK

After lunch at your lodge, head out for an afternoon game drive around the lake and through its acacia woodlands. Here, you might spot tree-climbing lions lounging in yellow-barked trees, herds of buffalo, warthogs trotting across the road, and elegant Rothschild giraffes browsing quietly. Along the lake’s edge, marvel at flocks of flamingos, pelicans, and a kaleidoscope of other bird species feeding and flying in formation over the water.

DAY 3: LAKE NAKURU – LAKE NAIVASHA

After a leisurely breakfast, depart Lake Nakuru for a short drive to Lake Naivasha, a tranquil freshwater lake framed by ancient acacia trees and towering volcanic peaks. Your lodge sits along the lake’s shore, offering a peaceful setting and views of resident hippos wallowing in the shallows.

Later, embark on a walking safari at Crescent Island Sanctuary, a private peninsula home to freely roaming wildlife. With no predators, it’s safe to walk among giraffes, zebras, impalas, and wildebeest – a rare and intimate experience.

Return to camp just before dark, where a warm meal and fire-lit evening under the stars await.

With the full day at your disposal, you’ll explore deeper areas of the Mara, from riverbanks where crocodiles bask to wide plains where predators hunt.

If traveling during the migration season (July to October), witness thousands of wildebeest and zebras braving crocodile-infested rivers in one of nature’s most dramatic events the Great Migration.

Beyond the game, take time to visit a traditional Masai village (optional), where you’ll be welcomed with song and dance, and learn about this proud tribe’s customs, architecture, and way of life.

The Samburu people are a semi-nomadic pastoralist community living in northern Kenya, known for their vibrant culture, deep connection to nature, and distinctive attire. They inhabit the arid and rugged landscapes along the Ewaso Nyiro River, an area that includes the captivating Samburu National Reserve one of Kenya’s most underrated safari gems.

Famous for rare wildlife, dramatic scenery, and authentic cultural experiences, Samburu National Reserve offers a completely different safari experience compared to the more well-known parks in southern Kenya. This 3-day itinerary gives you the perfect blend of scenic drives, big game viewing, and cultural immersion in the wild heart of the north.

DAY 1: NAIROBI TO SAMBURU NATIONAL RESERVE

Departing from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), your journey to Samburu National Reserve begins with a scenic drive through the outskirts of Nairobi, ascending into the lush Central Highlands. Along the way, you’ll pass through fertile tea and coffee plantations, cross the equator near Nanyuki, and admire the snow capped slopes of Mount Kenya.

As you continue north, the landscape transforms into open savannahs and semi-arid terrain. You’ll pass through the bustling town of Isiolo before entering Samburu County, where camels, antelope, and the occasional elephant can be seen along the roadside.

Upon arrival at your lodge near or inside Samburu National Reserve, check in, enjoy a relaxing lunch, and prepare for your first evening game drive. This introduction to the reserve might reward you with sightings of elephants, Grevy’s zebras, leopards, and other animals that are native to northern Kenya’s unique ecosystem.

DAY 2: FULL DAY IN SAMBURU NATIONAL RESERVE

Your day begins with a sunrise game drive in Samburu National Reserve, an early start that gives you the best chance to spot predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards as they patrol the cool dawn. The golden light of morning illuminates the rugged hills and palm-fringed riverbanks, creating a perfect setting for photography. One of the highlights of visiting Samburu National Reserve is the chance to see the Samburu Special Five wildlife species rarely seen elsewhere in Kenya. These include:

• Grevy’s zebra
• Reticulated giraffe
• Beisa oryx
• Somali ostrich
• Gerenuk (giraffe gazelle)

These species are uniquely adapted to the arid conditions of northern Kenya, and their presence makes game drives in Samburu especially rewarding.

After a mid-morning break for breakfast, continue with a leisurely drive through the reserve’s dramatic terrain, keeping an eye out for elephants near the Ewaso Nyiro River, hippos in the deeper pools, and an abundance of birdlife throughout the acacia woodlands and riverine forest.

In the afternoon, enjoy a cultural visit to a nearby Samburu village, where you’ll learn about traditional customs, colorful attire, beading artistry, and the deep-rooted rituals of the community. These interactions add cultural depth to your safari and highlight the role of local communities in conservation.

Conclude your day with a tranquil moment along the riverbank, listening to birdsong and watching the landscape change colors as the sun sets over Samburu National Reserve. Return to your lodge for dinner and overnight.

DAY 3: SAMBURU NATIONAL RESERVE TO NAIROBI

Enjoy your final breakfast in the serene surroundings of Samburu National Reserve, with views of the surrounding bush and perhaps a few last glimpses of passing wildlife. After check out, begin your return journey to Nairobi.

The drive takes you back through the northern plains and highlands, passing rural settlements, livestock herders, and roadside markets that give a glimpse into everyday life in Kenya’s northern region. Stop briefly for refreshments and to stretch your legs, all while enjoying views of Mount Kenya and the stunning landscapes of the Great Rift Valley.

As you descend toward Nairobi, the contrast between the remote wilderness of Samburu and the lively pace of Kenya’s capital becomes clear. The trip concludes with drop-off at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport or your hotel in Nairobi—filled with unforgettable memories of your time in Samburu National Reserve.
