3-Day Samburu Fly-In Safari | Rare Wildlife & Game Drives

Fly to Kenya's Wild Northern Frontier

Fly over the Great Rift Valley and Mount Kenya directly into one of Africa's most remote and beautiful wildlife reserves. Samburu's semi-arid landscape along the Ewaso Ng'iro River is home to the 'Special Five' — Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, Beisa oryx, and Somali ostrich — species found nowhere else in Kenya. Expect leopards hunting along riverbanks, massive elephant herds, Nile crocodiles basking on sandy shores, and a raw northern wilderness that few tourists ever experience. The scenic bush flight saves six hours of driving each way, giving you maximum time in this extraordinary reserve.
