   Day 2: Samburu wildlife drives

   Samburu National Reserve is explored on morning and afternoon game drives, with the cooler hours offering strong wildlife-viewing conditions. The guide follows tracks around open country and the Ewaso Nyiro riverine habitat while searching for elephants, lions, leopards, Grevy’s zebra, and gerenuk. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served at Samburu Intrepids Tented Camp, with a midday break for rest between drives. The unhurried schedule gives photographers and families time to observe each sighting without rushing onward.

What is the Samburu child policy?

The package child rate applies to travellers aged 5 to 17 years, based on the published Samburu National Reserve child band used for this itinerary. Children must share the booked room or tent with accompanying adults. Families travelling with younger children should request a tailored quotation because accommodation, meals, vehicle seats, and reserve rules may be priced differently.

When is the best time for Samburu?

Samburu National Reserve can be visited throughout the year, while the best departure depends on budget, school holidays, and preferred travel dates. Value departures offer the lowest package prices, while peak dates require earlier booking. Proven Adventures recommends reserving 2026 travel well ahead because accommodation and safari vehicle rates vary by demand.
