Overlanding Samburu May Edition

Overlanding Samburu is a trip that takes you to the Northern part of Kenya, one of the scenic places less visited.

Discover the Wonders of Buffalo Springs National Reserve, and Mt. Ololokwe

This untamed wilderness is home to some of Africa’s most unique wildlife, including the iconic Samburu Special Five—Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, Beisa oryx, and gerenuk.

Buffalo Springs, with its crystal-clear natural springs, offers a refreshing contrast to the arid landscapes, where you can take a dip, while the towering Mt. Ololokwe provides a breathtaking backdrop on the highway.
