3-Day Luxury Flying Safari into Samburu’s Wild Beauty

Your safari adventure begins with a morning flight from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to the Samburu airstrip, a journey of approximately 1.5 hours. Upon landing, you will be greeted by your lodge’s professional driver-guide and transferred to your luxury safari accommodation. After checking in, enjoy a refreshing lunch and a bit of downtime to settle in.
In the afternoon, set out on your first game drive in the remarkable Samburu National Reserve, renowned for its unique wildlife. Keep an eye out for the rare northern species known as the “Samburu Special Five”: the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk, and Beisa oryx.
As the day winds down, return to camp for a delicious dinner and unwind beneath the vast African night sky.

Awaken to the sounds of the African bush and set off on an early morning game drive; prime time for spotting predators like lions, leopards, and cheetahs as they hunt in the cool dawn hours. After returning to the accommodation for a hearty breakfast, choose to unwind by the pool or visit a nearby Samburu village, where you will gain insight into traditional customs, attire, and daily life. In the afternoon, embark on a second game drive, exploring new terrain perhaps along the Ewaso Nyiro River, a lifeline that draws a diverse array of wildlife. As the sun begins to set, enjoy optional sundowners in the bush before heading back to the lodge for a serene, candlelit dinner under the stars.

On your final day, enjoy a relaxed breakfast or opt for one last early morning game drive, depending on your flight schedule. After check-out, you will be transferred to the airstrip for your return flight to Nairobi. Upon arrival at Wilson Airport, you can either connect to your onward journey or be transferred to your hotel. Your short safari concludes with lasting memories of Samburu’s remarkable wildlife and vibrant culture.

Transfers from Wilson Airport to other destinations in Nairobi can be arranged at an additional cost.
