Samburu Reserve Reviews
More info about Samburu Reserve
Samburu National Reserve is located north of Nairobi, and was established in the 1970's. Samburu National Reserve is also adjacent to the well known Buffalo Springs National Reserve. Samburu Reserve is 40 square miles in size; and temperature during the day is refreshingly hot, especially if you had a rough winter in your home country, but tends to cool during the night. This region to this date is referred to as the Northern Frontier District because of the war in the 1960's and early 70's with the Somali people. Culturally, Northern Kenya has always had a strong influence of Somali, Galla and Borana communities/tribes, who have been nomads for many centuries. The Samburu National Reserve can be entered via the Ngare Mare and Buffalo Springs gates. Once inside the reserve, there are two mountains visible; Koitogor and Ololokwe. The reserve is very peaceful, and attracts animals because of River Uaaso Nyiro which means "brown water"... Show more
