Game Viewing: Samburu Game Reserve is a lava plain that features steep sided gullies and rounded hills wherein the 32km Uaso Nyiro River provides both the central feature of the landscape and the lifeblood of the ecosystem.

This is a dry country ecosystem and is therefore prone to large variations in the animal populations as they search for water. Poaching has completely wiped out the rhino herds in this area.

The camp's location deep inside the reserve guarantees close encounters with the region's shier wildlife including elephant, lion, leopard and Samburu's unique five - the rare reticulated giraffe, long-necked gerenuk, antelope, Somali ostrich, Grevy's zebra and Beisa Oryx. Marshal eagles, pygmy falcons, hornbills and Egyptian geese can also be spotted.
