Camping Kenya Lodge Safaris » Samburu Lodge Safari Kenya Samburu Game
Reserve is situated in the hot and arid fringes of Kenya's vast Northern
Frontier District. The area is home to the Samburu tribe, pastoral relatives
of the Masai. The landscape is rugged and dramatic - against a backdrop
of volcanic mountains, gaunt hills and withered scrub tree punctuate the
sparse and dry terrain with clusters of the incredibly hardy desert rose
providing the ocassional flash of vivid colour. The Ewaso Nyiro river, lifeline
of the area, runs along the southern boundary dividing Samburu Game Reserve
from Buffalo Springs Reserve. Crocodile and hippo share the river with the
many small herds of elephant which bathe and frolic in the muddy brown waters
during the heat of the day before returning later to browse on the lush
vegetation of the riverine forest. Buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah and plains
game may also be seen but a special feature of this Reserve are the various
species of game unique to these northern parks - Beisa oryx, the long necked
gerenuk, Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe and the blue shanked Somali
ostrich.Samburu Reserve covers an area of 104 km2 on the northern bank of
