3-Day Samburu Flying Safari Tour

Your adventure begins with a scenic morning flight from Wilson Airport in Nairobi to the Samburu airstrip, cutting travel time to just 1.5 hours. On arrival, you’ll be warmly welcomed by your guide and transferred to your luxury lodge or camp for check-in and a refreshing lunch.

After a short rest, head out on your first game drive through Samburu National Reserve, home to the rare and iconic “Samburu Special Five” — including Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, and gerenuk. As the golden sun dips below the horizon, return to camp for a delicious dinner and a peaceful evening beneath the African night sky.

In the afternoon, venture out again to explore more of the reserve, perhaps along the wildlife-rich Ewaso Nyiro River. As the day winds down, enjoy optional sundowners in the bush before returning to the lodge for a magical candlelit dinner under the stars.
