Safari Overview

Overview

Skip the long road trip and head straight to the wild on this exclusive 3-day fly-in safari to Samburu National Reserve. Your adventure begins at Wilson Airport in Nairobi, where you’ll board a light aircraft for a scenic 50-60 minute flight. Watching the landscape shift from the city skyline to the rugged, arid beauty of Northern Kenya from above is an experience in itself. Since you'll be traveling in a light aircraft, there is a strict luggage limit of 15kg (33lbs) per person. This weight includes both your checked bag and your hand luggage. The most important rule is to use a soft-sided bag (like a duffel or a backpack). Hard-shell suitcases with rigid frames or wheels often won't fit into the plane's small, irregular luggage pods. Once you land at the bush Samburu airstrip, our team will be there to whisk you away to your lodge. Samburu is a place like no other, famous for its "Special Five"—the rare Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, and Grevy’s zebra. Between your morning and evening game drives, you’ll witness elephants gathering along the Ewaso Nyiro River, the lifeblood of this desert landscape. Because this is a fly-in package, you spend more time relaxing at your lodge and less time in transit, making every moment count.
