KERUBO Says: For those who would like to see wild life.
pfsmalo Says: On the way between Samburu and Nakuru, there are a couple of places for a stop to have a look at the 5199 metres high Mount Kenya from a distance. All around Mount Kenya you also have coffee stops and souvenir shops planted just on the Equator, easily found because of the...
pfsmalo Says: We were following a track through the savanna when the driver slowed and motioned off to our right. Once again it took a lot of spotting but there in the long grass was a lioness watching a small herd of Oryx. The only thing was, the Oryx were wise to her moves and every...
Pride of lions near the river.
pfsmalo Says: We had just stopped to look at the Vervet monkeys and let the elephant past so he could cross the river, when our chauffeur/guide whispered "Look up to the left on the far bank, do you see the lioness ?". After much staring through leneses we finally spotted the first one,...
Down by the Awaso Ngiro river II
pfsmalo Says: More of the animals down near the river.
Down by the Awaso Ngiro river.
pfsmalo Says: The river that runs through the park is, of course the place where you'll find all sorts of animals congregating, apparently without concern. There are a few crocs lazing about, so don't go partaking of the freshness of the water.
pfsmalo Says: The elephants here seem to have a different colour than those in Amboseli due to the earth here being more of a reddish brown against the grey ash colour of Amboseli. But, whatever colour they are the most magnificent of animals.
Go see the animals, what else II ??
pfsmalo Says: The strange Gerenuk, has the body of an antelope and the neck of a small giraffe, that allows it to reach up to the top of tall bushes for food where other species cannot reach, for the succulent leaves. Its large eyes and ears has the same look as the "Mule Deer". The...
Go see the animals, what else ??
pfsmalo Says: We had seen the tiny Dik-Dik in Amboseli, but they are terribly nervous animals and move away at the slightest noise that they don't like. Normally always in pairs we found this little fellow on its own, but surprisingly not making his usual dik-dik sound. Only standing at...

sachara Says: On the road from Marsabit to Samburu National Reserve we hardly see any local transport. There must be some buses on this route. In one of the few small villages along the track we saw this open truck. In many countries in Africa people travel at the top of open trucks. In...
sachara Says: In the north of Kenya we travelled again with our own truck, hired in Arusha this time, after we had to leave our first truck in N'Djamena in Chad. Because of the problems in Darfur in Sudan, we couldn't travel overland ans had to fly from Chad to Ethiopia. In the south of...
sachara Says: From Moyale at the Ethiopian border to Marsabit and from Marsabit to the Samburu National Reserve all the vehicles mostly travel in convoy to minimise the danger of attacks. Travelling in convoy means you have to leave very early or wait for hours.In Marsabit we decided to...
Samburu people market: Samburu people market
Maeve_81 Says: When visiting the Samburu people, the women will show all of their goods on their 'market'. There are at least 30 stalls, so choose wisely. I bought myself a typical Samburu neckjewel, high quality and low price (but you do have to negotiate). Try to pay 60 % of their...
luddinra Says: For 20 US dollars, you can visit the village in the Samburu Game Reserve. As with the Masai, the Kenyan governement has told the Samburu that if they do not kill the wildlife for their religious purposes, food, ect...then the tourists will come. And the tourists will bring...
sachara Says: The Samburu people are herdsmen of camels and goats. You can see them often on the reserve boundaries bringing their animals to the river. These Samburu are closely related to the Maasai and are speaking the same language. Traditionally the Samburu live of the milk and blood...

In March 2004 we visited the Samburu and Buffalo Springs National Game Reserves along the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River. We camped two nights at the northbank of this river. .

I enjoyed Samburu more than Amboseli, although the variety of animals was only slightly different, the fact of having the Ewaso Ngiro river running through it providing a lot more greenery and shade,...
