SAMBURU KENYA SAFARI
Is situated in the
hot and arid fringes of Kenya's vast Northern Frontier
District is The Samburu. The area is home to the Samburu tribe,
pastoral relatives of the Masai.
Samburu Game Reserve's landscape is rugged
and dramatic - against a backdrop of volcanic mountains,
gaunt hills and withered scrub tree punctuate the sparse
and dry terrain with clusters of the incredibly hardy
desert rose providing the occasional flash of vivid
color.
The Ewaso Nyiro river, lifeline of the area,
runs along the southern boundary dividing Samburu
national reserve from
Buffalo Springs Reserve.
Crocodile and hippo share the
river with the many small herds of elephant which bathe
and frolic in the muddy brown waters during the heat of
the day before returning later to browse on the lush
vegetation of the river line forest at Samburu game
reserve.
