Samburu National Reserve.

Samburu National Reserve unfolds across the semi-arid plains of northern Kenya, where the life-giving waters of the Ewaso Ng'iro River cut through doum palm groves and rust-red hills. This rugged landscape is the best place in East Africa to encounter the "Samburu Special Five" — Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk, and Beisa oryx — species adapted to the dry north and rarely seen further south. The reserve's riverine forest also harbors healthy populations of elephant, lion, and leopard, while the local Samburu people add a rich cultural dimension to every safari.
