4 Days Samburu Special Elephant Safari

4 Days Samburu Special Elephant Safari highlights the  Samburu Special five, elephants and the big cats. Samburu National Reserve is an enchanting  wildlife photography safari destination. The mighty  Ewaso Nyiro river cuts through both Buffalo springs on one side and Samburu National reserve and it is lined with doum palms and riverine forests creating an “oasis” feel in this semi-Arid Eco system. The 4 Days Samburu Special Elephant safari gives you ample time to explore not only the landscape but also the beautiful wild animals that call it home. We get an opportunity to see the Samburu special five which include, the gerenuk, reticulated giraffe, grevys zebra, Somali ostrich and the oryx. The three big cats of Africa, the lion, cheetah and the leopard are also found here. With over 350 bird species recorded here including the colorful golden breasted starlings, Somali bee eaters the harrier hawks amongst others will keep both a keen birdwatcher and a general wildlife watcher thrilled. 4 Days Samburu Special Elephant Safari gives you the opportunity to observe, photograph and learn more about the African savanna elephant. The Ewaso Ng’iro being a constant water source, elephants frequent it for water and mud baths. You will enjoy watching the matriarchs leading the families into the brown waters in the heat of the day. The elephant calves rolling in mud as their mothers splash muddy waters on their backs to cool the effects of the hot African sun. We get amazing photos and videos as the elephants cross the river from Samburu National reserve to Buffalo springs and vice versa. In the dry season when there is almost nonexistent water on the rivers surface, observe as the elephants step up to their key stone species role. They dig out the sand to reach the water and this ends up benefiting the rest of the animals thus affecting an entire ecosystem in return. Come lets us explore
