Samburu is the only lodge within the Kalama Community Wildlife Conservancy and borders the 200,000-acre Samburu National Reserve. The Reserve is located in the Rift Valley province and bordered to the south by Ewaso Nyiro River whose lush riverbanks are the main draw for the abundant wildlife. In addition to its famous elephant population, Samburu offers prime viewing opportunities of waterbuck, lesser kudu, lion, impala, leopard, striped hyena, civet, and a variety of bird species. It’s also home to the Samburu Special, five rarer seen northern animals: the grevy zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, and the Beisa oryx.
