Samburu

## Samburu: Where the Wild Things Are

In the arid northern frontier of Kenya lies the Samburu National Reserve, a rugged landscape teeming with unique and resilient wildlife found nowhere else on Earth. As your trusted travel partner, ORUSA TOURS & TRAVEL is expertly equipped to design an unforgettable safari through this captivating corner of Kenya.

### Samburu Special Five
While the iconic Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, buffalo) are certainly present, Samburu is home to a distinct set of species known as the “Samburu Special Five.” Keep an eye out for the Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, and the long-necked gerenuk as you explore the reserve.

### Rugged Wilderness
Characterized by dramatic volcanic rock formations, arid grasslands, and the life-giving Ewaso Ng’iro River, Samburu’s landscape is a stark contrast to the lush Serengeti or Masai Mara. This harsh yet beautiful environment is where resilient species like the desert-adapted elephant and Somali ostrich thrive, providing an authentic wilderness experience for visitors.

### Cultural Connections
The Samburu people, closely related to the Maasai, have inhabited this region for centuries. Visit a traditional Samburu village to gain insights into their pastoralist way of life, witness vibrant cultural performances, and have the opportunity to purchase handcrafted beadwork and other artisanal goods.

### Unique Safari Activities
In addition to classic game drives, Samburu offers a range of immersive experiences. Embark on a camel safari for a one-of-a-kind perspective, or join a guided bush walk to discover the reserve’s smaller wonders up close. For a bird’s-eye view, consider a hot air balloon ride over the sweeping landscapes.
