Overview

Samburu region is a unique biodiversity hotspot as well as a region of remarkable scenery and formations. They host wildlife such as lions, cheetahs, elephants, reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, gerenuk, dik-dik and even leopards as well as hundreds of species of birds

Day 1

Our journey starts from Nairobi at 6am with a drive to Samburu National reserve – we’ll have a couple of washroom breaks along the way

When we get to Archer’s post around 12:30, we’ll safely store our luggage at the camp and then go on afternoon safari until 6pm or so.

This will be followed by dinner at our camp and recap of the day

Day 2

We’ll have breakfast from 6:30 to 7:15 and then leave the camp at 7:30am

Our journey will involve a drive north towards Mt. Ololokwe and we continue on and turn towards Reteti Elephant Sanctuary. The orphanage is located inside Namunyak Conservancy

The road to Reteti is quite rough and takes a while, hence be ready for several twists and turns

Along the way we will take a short detour to see the famous rock painting of an elephant

We expect to get to Reteti by 10:30am where we will be given a tour of the grounds where we are likely to see several reticulated giraffe as well as other orphaned species of wildlife

After our visit, we’ll get back to the main highway, have our packed lunch at a convenient spot

We’ll return to Archer’s post and do a short afternoon/evening safari at Buffalo Springs National Reserve from 3:30pm to 6pm

Thereafter will be our dinner at the camp

Day 3

The following morning will find us having early breakfast at the camp from 5:45am

We expect to check out and leave the camp at 6:30am

Our destination will be Buffalo Springs where we will start with the swimming at their famous blue pools – this is the highlight of the safari where we expect to spend at least an hour and half at the pools

Once we’re done with the pools by 10am or so – we’ll do a quick tour of the reserve just in case there’s anything interesting and then exit by 11am

Thereafter will be the return drive to Nairobi with a quick stopover at Nanyuki for lunch
