Samburu National Reserve lies 325 km north of Nairobi in the hot and arid fringes of the vast northern region of Kenya. The Samburu National Reserve is within the lands of the colourful Samburu people, closes relatives of the Maasai, and harbors a number of wildlife species rarely found elsewhere in any numbers. These include Grevy's zebra, the reticulated giraffe and the Beisa oryx all species found only north of the equator. The long-necked gerenuk is a graceful antelope which spends much of its time in a bi-pedal stance seeking succulence among the withered scrub which dots this harsh terrain.
Samburu Game Reserve should be in your itinerary when you plan an in Kenya Safari or any Africa Safaris Holiday, because it is one of the less well known of the Kenya Game Reserves, and so less crowded, and in addition it has several species which are considered to be unique to the region.

Buffalo Springs National Reserve - Buffalo Springs National Reserve is separated from the Samburu Reserve by the river; less hilly and less dense than its neighbor it is equally as attractive. The Buffalo Springs National Reserve takes its name from an oasis of limpid crystal clear water at the western end of the sanctuary.
In addition to the wildlife found in Samburu the common zebra is also an attraction often marching with its cousin the Grevy, although they do not interbreed. An unexplained phenomenon is why the common zebra is not found on the north side of the river. Birdlife, too, is prolific with the Somali ostrich dominating the plains..
Shaba National Reserve - These two reserves, with Shaba which lies east of the road linking Isiolo with Marsabit, form a trio of unusual and attractive game sanctuaries very different from others in Kenya. Shaba has a particular place in the history of Kenya game conservation for it was in this reserve that the authoress, Joy Adamson, was murdered early in 1980, her trilogy of books on the rehabilitation of the compliant leopard to a wild environment unfinished.
It is impossible to talk about a Shaba National Reserve safari without mentioning Samburu National Reserve, and Buffalo Springs National Reserve, because they are all intertwined, and they form a trio of unusual and attractive game sanctuaries, and all neighbors. Before you decide on your Kenya Safari Holiday which might well be a thought for your honeymoon destination, do remember to check out the Sarova Shaba Lodge in the Shaba National reserve in Kenya north of Nairobi.
