SAMBURU NATIONAL PARK CAN BE FOUND IN THE MIDDLE OF KENYA ON THE BANKS OF THE EWASO NG’IRO RIVER. THIS SINGLE WATER SOURCE THAT SOOTHES THE HOT AND ARID LAND IS IN STARK CONTRAST TO THE RUGGEDNESS OF THIS PEACEFUL AND POPULAR PARK.
Less familiar special species such as the gerenuk, Grévy’s zebra and reticulated giraffe share the park with the regular players. Adding tension to the peace are the three big cats: lion, cheetah and leopard as well as large numbers of Nile crocodiles. The oasis of palm tree groves and thick forests sustained by the river translate to a haven for those with wings which of course means sublime birding. So, despite the sparse grasslands and parched acacia shrub, game viewing is great in Samburu. The Samburu people—pastoralists who live a semi-nomadic lifestyle—may occasionally pass through the reserve with their cattle.
