Detailed Safari Itinerary
Day 1: Nairobi – Samburu National Reserve (Game Drives Along Ewaso Nyiro River)
Your 2 days Samburu safari tour package begins with an early morning pickup in Nairobi, driving north through central Kenya’s changing landscapes toward the rugged wilderness of Samburu. As you cross the equator and approach the reserve, the scenery shifts to open plains, volcanic hills, and doum palm forests. After arrival, enjoy lunch at your safari lodge or eco-camp before heading out for your first extensive game drive.
This afternoon safari explores the Ewaso Nyiro River ecosystem, Samburu’s wildlife lifeline. Expect excellent chances of spotting elephants, reticulated giraffes, Grevy’s zebras, Somali ostriches, gerenuk, lions, and leopards resting in riverine trees. Your local guide shares in-depth knowledge of Samburu culture, wildlife behavior, and conservation efforts. As the sun sets, return to camp for dinner, storytelling, and overnight in the heart of the African wilderness.
Day 2: Samburu Morning Safari – Return to Nairobi
Rise early for a sunrise game drive, when predators are most active and the golden light transforms Samburu’s dramatic terrain. This morning safari focuses on tracking big cats, large elephant herds, and rare northern species while enjoying uninterrupted photography opportunities. The cool hours also bring vibrant birdlife, making Samburu ideal for birding enthusiasts.
After breakfast, enjoy a final short drive or relaxation at the lodge before beginning your scenic journey back to Nairobi. You arrive in the afternoon with unforgettable memories, stunning wildlife images, and the satisfaction of having experienced one of Kenya’s most authentic safari destinations — all within a compact, expertly guided 2 day Samburu safari tour 2026/2027/2028.
