Samburu specialises in being that little bit different. Take the wildlife, for example. The reserve is home to some pretty unique species including Grevys zebras, reticulated giraffes, blue ostriches and gerenuks. Then there’s the landscape: hot and dry plains cut through by the Ewaso Ng’iro river as it winds its way through the reserve.
Several communities live next to the reserve, and it’s not unusual to see brightly coloured Samburu Warriors (cousins of the Masai) herding their cattle, sheep and goats.
