Things to see in Kenya: Samburu National Reserve

This lovely, remote wilderness area lies 325 kilometres north of Nairobi, on the arid fringe of Kenya's extensive desert region. This is the ancestral land of the colourful Samburu people, close relatives of the Masai. The dramatic landscape harbours species rarely found elsewhere, including Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich and vulturine guineafowl. The long-necked gerenuk is also a common resident. The reserve is bisected by the Ewaso Ng'iro River, which attracts large herds of elephant, and a variety of spectacular birds.
