Samburu
An arid reserve in northern Kenya, split by the Ewaso Ng’iro river, with dry-country scenery that looks nothing like the green highlands further south.
Samburu is home to the Samburu Special Five: Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich and gerenuk. Elephant, lion and leopard are also seen along the river.
