Day 1
Your adventure begins with a scenic morning flight from Nairobi to Samburu National Reserve, one of Kenya’s most captivating wilderness areas. Upon arrival at the airstrip, you will be warmly welcomed by your safari guide and transferred to your luxurious camp or lodge. Enjoy a refreshing welcome drink and settle into your elegant suite overlooking the dramatic landscapes of northern Kenya. After lunch and some relaxation, embark on your first afternoon game drive through the reserve. Samburu is renowned for its rare wildlife species collectively known as the Samburu Special Five: the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, and gerenuk. The reserve is also home to large elephant herds, lions, leopards, and cheetahs. As the sun sets over the rugged hills and acacia-dotted plains, return to camp for sundowners and a gourmet dinner under the African sky. Overnight in luxury accommodation within Samburu. Mid-range lodge located just outside Samburu NR Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 2
Wake up to the sounds of the African wilderness and enjoy an early morning game drive when wildlife is most active. Follow the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River, the lifeline of the reserve, where elephants gather to drink and predators often patrol in search of prey. Your experienced guide will help you track elusive species while sharing fascinating insights about the ecosystem and local conservation efforts. Return to camp for a leisurely breakfast and relaxation before lunch. In the afternoon, head out for another extensive game drive exploring different sections of the reserve. Keep your camera ready for encounters with leopards resting in riverine forests, lion prides lounging beneath acacia trees, and large crocodiles basking along the riverbanks. As dusk approaches, enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding hills painted in golden light. Return to camp for fine dining, exceptional service, and another peaceful night in the heart of Samburu. Mid-range lodge located just outside Samburu NR All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 3
Today offers a deeper exploration of Samburu's natural and cultural treasures. Begin with an early morning game drive or optional bush breakfast in a scenic wilderness setting. Venture into remote areas of the reserve where wildlife sightings are often spectacular and crowds are minimal. The region’s unique semi-arid environment supports an extraordinary diversity of animals adapted to the harsh conditions. After lunch and leisure time at camp, enjoy a cultural visit to a traditional Samburu village where you will gain insight into the customs, traditions, and daily life of this proud pastoral community. Learn about their colorful attire, livestock-based lifestyle, and strong connection to the land. Later, return to the reserve for an afternoon game drive searching for species you may not have encountered yet. End the day with sundowners overlooking the vast wilderness before returning to camp for a luxurious dinner and overnight stay. Mid-range lodge located just outside Samburu NR All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 4
Enjoy a final morning in the African bush with an early breakfast and, depending on flight schedules, a short game drive to maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities. This is often an excellent time to spot predators returning from their nighttime hunts and elephants beginning their daily movements across the reserve. After checking out, transfer to the airstrip for your scheduled flight back to Nairobi. As you soar above Kenya’s spectacular landscapes, reflect on unforgettable encounters with rare wildlife, breathtaking scenery, and authentic cultural experiences. Upon arrival in Nairobi, you will be met and transferred to your hotel or onward destination, marking the end of your extraordinary ultra-luxury Samburu safari filled with memories that will last a lifetime.

5.0/5I highly recommend Amafrik Getaways for corporate retreats. The choice of Kereita adventure and Brackenhurst for team development showed alot of thought and planning. The hospitality at the resort was a top-notch, and activities were truely angaging. Five stars!

I booked them for 3 days. They provided transfer from my accommodation in Nairobi to Mara Serena Lodge in Masai Mara, a full day game drive and transfer back to Nairobi. The lodge is located around 56 Km inside Masai mara. So not a close location. It all translated in to a lot of driving and communication with company. I collected multiple quote, although there were a couple of quotes that were 50 to 100 dollars cheaper than them but I selected them based on their prompt response, courtesy, willingness to accommodate our requests and detailed itinerary. The driver Moses was great. He picked us up on-time, was courteous throughout the journey and made sure to spot as much wild life as possible. He followed local laws and park rules. And was deligient in taking rest room stops, informing us of plan ahead of time and helping us set expectations. I would 100% hire them for all future trips. The company also made sure to take our formal consent before posting anything on social media.

I had a logistics meeting with a South African company M6T in January 21st 2026. Amafrick Getaways booked my flights out of Nairobi to Joburg...planned my airport transfers! Their services and employees are.super friendly. I was booked to spend my stay in Premier Hotel. Amafrick arranged my pick up from the hotel to M6T offices and it was swift. After the meeting they took me around town, went to the famous Soweto town, visited Mandela house, learnt some history of the shaka zulus...learnt shaka zulu dance, amd had lunch with the locals. My stay at Joburg was perfect, at first I was worried coz I travelled alone but Amafrick made me super comfortable!! Id refer them to anyone who wants security, safety and fun in their travel.
