‘Yesterday’s Safaris Today’
Samburu
I have designed this safari for those of you wanting to spend time with the elephants and leopards as well as the dry country animals found in the region.
The daily routine is very similar to that at the Mara. We are out at first light, making the most of the cool morning. The park consists of a beautiful but scorched landscape. Here conditions are ideal for Grevy’s zebra, oryx, gerenuk and many more dry country mammals as well as a huge variety of birds such as the vulturine guineafowl.
The river is the lifeline here and, depending on the time of year, it can be a raging torrent or as dry as a bone, but you will never be disappointed. Please read A Day in Samburu Park
Samburu is the place to see huge numbers of elephant and boy, do we see many! We will spend a couple of hours under a tree on the river bank watching ‘elephant action’, the crossings, drinking, playing, fighting and chasing.and even being charged by the ‘totos’ - baby elephants, and particularly the baby bulls.! Please read A Morning by the River
The glades produce great leopards. I have seen a leopard here on every safari for the last four years.
Samburu is usually very hot, dry and dusty so take good precautions for yourself and your equipment!
During lunch at the camp you will enjoy watching the elephants in the river from your tent, especially our large bull ‘Bumper’, who feeds from the dom palms between the tents!

"For a truly memorable and lifetime Kenyan safari experience, we whole heartedly recommend Brian Freeman and his team without any reservation whatsoever. Personal care afforded was absolute and, photographically, we were presented with unimaginable closeup views of wildlife and village life that will stay with us forever. The holiday exceeded all our expectations, a holiday we will repeat."
