Reserve:
- Samburu Game Reserve is
situated in the hot and arid fringes of Kenya's vast
Northern Frontier District. The area is home to the
Samburu tribe, pastoral relatives of the Masai. The
landscape is rugged and dramatic - against a backdrop of
volcanic mountains, gaunt hills and withered scrub tree
punctuate the sparse and dry terrain with clusters of the
incredibly hardy desert rose providing the ocassional
flash of vivid colour. The Ewaso Nyiro river, lifeline of
the area, runs along the southern boundary dividing
Samburu Game Reserve from Buffalo Springs Reserve.
Crocodile and hippo share the river with the many small
herds of elephant which bathe and frolic in the muddy
brown waters during the heat of the day before returning
later to browse on the lush vegetation of the riverine
forest. Buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah and plains game
may also be seen but a special feature of this Reserve are
the various species of game unique to these northern parks

reticulated giraffe and the blue shanked Somali
ostrich. Samburu Reserve covers an area of 104 km2 on the

Samburu Serena Safari Lodge:
Situated on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro
River, in the center of the Samburu Game Reserve, the
Samburu Serena Safari Lodge echoes the robust rhythms of
African riverfront life. The lodge was inspired by the
architecture of the indigenous Samburu tribe; it blends
into its natural environment by making full use of native
materials. Thatched cabins built using exotic African
woods create an escapist atmosphere. Accommodations are
cooled by breezes off the river and overhead punkah fans.
All guestrooms have private verandahs with uninterrupted
vistas of the languid river and the wildlife it attracts,
as well as the countless crocodiles that make the waters
their home. Gracious dining and lounge areas are enhanced
by Samburu details and murals depicting local nature. The
Samburu dancers will entertain you during one of your days
here, and it might even be possible to visit one of their
villages if you're interested, for a nominal small fee.
