You deserve a perfect long weekend getaway. This safari offers a premium feel and authentic experience that goes beyond the usual. We provide transparent pricing and exceptional value.

This ensures your ride is comfortable and reliable from Nairobi to the heart of the reserve. You will have a higher vantage point for wildlife viewing and photography.?

Samburu is a destination with fewer crowds. It is home to the "Samburu Special Five" ? the Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, and gerenuk. These rare animals are adapted to the semi-arid environment. You will also see elephants and big cats.

Our exclusive package features a non-replicable educational experience. This trip includes a visit to the new planetarium at Samburu Sopa Lodge.
