Location
Dry, rugged, and stunning, Samburu’s landscape is at once stark and sensual, with its iconic loaf-shaped Ololokwe Mountain and hills spreading in every horizon.
Its life lung is the Uaso Nyiro River coursing through its craggy terrain full of stone, thorn bush, and the forked doum palms.
In this arid zone where water is scarce and the land baked by the eternal sun, herds of elephants and the big cats roam the plains with the Samburu special – the Reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, and the long-necked antelope, the gerenuk easily seen despite its harsh climes.
