The best areas to stay in Samburu are generally within the Samburu National Reserve itself, offering the most direct access to wildlife viewing.For travellers, properties situated along the Ewaso Ng'iro River are highly sought after. This river is the lifeblood of the reserve, attracting a high concentration of wildlife, especially the "Samburu Special Five" (Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, and gerenuk). Staying here means you're often just steps away from spotting elephants, big cats, and various bird species directly from your accommodation. These lodges and camps are typically well-appointed, providing excellent service and amenities.Couples looking for a romantic and exclusive safari experience will find these riverside locations particularly appealing. Many camps offer private verandahs with uninterrupted views of the river and the animals that come to drink, providing a truly intimate connection with nature.
