Track Samburu's wildlife on a game drive

Just shy of dawn or as dusk approaches in the afternoon, chuck your khakis on and head out for a game drive across Samburu's rust-coloured landscape.

Amongst the dramatic outcrops, there lurks the Special Six including the stunning reticulated giraffe and long-necked gerenuk who snack on juicy acacia leaves, the elusive Somali ostrich, and down by the snaking Ewaso Nyiro river, Grevy's zebra, Beisa oryx and Günther's dik-dik gather for a drink.

Driving by the pockets of greenery at the river's edge, you'll spot splashing elephant, hippos soaking in the water and a plethora of birdlife. Take in every inch of this unique and wild park where lions nap under the shade of golden tamarinds and black rhino leave tracks in the sand. Then, return to camp for a well-deserved G&T.
