Have you been to Samburu? If yes please share your experience. If not has this persuaded you to go? Let us know.
Yes it is amazing. It is desert hot. But the amount of animals and special people there is amazing
Have been to Samburu in 1996, 2004 and was planning in 2020. Due to Covid postponed to August - September 2024.
Will travel three weeks from NBO to Travo, Amboseli, Naivasha, Masai Mara, Lake Elementaire, Aberdare and ending in Samburu.
i was there in sept 2011...it is time to come back🙂
I went to Samburu in 2009. It was the first park in Kenya we visited. It remains one of my favorites. But as wonderful as all the wildlife was, I really enjoyed meeting some of the tribes and learning about their life and culture. I would go back to Samburu and the rest of Kenya in a heartbeat.)
Thanks for sharing!
Yes many years ago.Samburu (and Meru) offer a very contrasting and rich environment and topography and wildlife experience .
I would if I went to Kenya want to go there as a first choice .
Great work there by Save the Elephants.

Simply amazing! Thank you so much!
Thanks Jon. Glad you liked it
I visited Samburu in Sept. 2022. What stood out were the effects of the unimaginable multi-year drought the area had suffered. I stayed at a camp that would truck water in to fill a watering hole for the animals. If not for that, we may not have seen any at all. The camp and people running it were absolutely lovely. I hope the drought has finally abated.
It ha indeed thankfully
great images
Cheers David. Glad you enjoyed them.
We were there in June 23. We were in Buffalo Springs though. But it was majestic and quiet secluded. We saw the special 5 and had some spectacular habitat snaps
I hope this brought back some great memories for you!
It did. I can't wait to be back in Kenya.
I was there in September 2022 and at that time there had been a severe drought.
There was actually very little game and in three days there, we saw no lions and no cheetah.
The standout sighting was a very relaxed female leopard with a cub, which we saw on consecutive days.
Apart from that, and some beautiful birds in the trees around the lodge, it was, to be honest, disappointing.
Sorry to be the wet blanket.
Maybe the drought has ended now - in a quick search, I wasn't able to find out.
That was rather unlucky I think. The drought appears to have abated since then as I had excellent game viewing and so have all the guests we have also sent since….maybe we can tempt you back?
I guess I will be the contrarian. We were there, as part of a much larger trip in Jan/Feb 2020 (right before Covd). The place was overrun with locusts at the time and was probably the least favorite place we visited.
地元政府よ、この乾いた大地にショベルカーを導入して水源を掘り起こして川の水を増やして下さい‼️
トラクターと散水車も導入して植林活動にも取り掛かって下さい‼️
