Samburu Special Five
Samburu National Reserve is situated at the southeastern corner of Samburu District in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya. It is the home of the proud Samburu who have lived here for generations. It is bordered to the south by Ewaso Nyiro River, which separates it from the Buffalo Springs National Reserve.
Ewaso Nyiro river draws wildlife in great numbers and creates a green oasis in an otherwise parched land. It’s a place of rich natural diversity with an astounding number of animals from huge majestic elephant to lion, leopard and cheetah and the «Samburu Special Five»: the Beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Gerenuk antelope and Somali ostrich. Wild dogs are also regularly seen.
