Day 1- Sarova Shaba Lodge/Samburu Lodge

After a briefing by a Abana representative you will drive north to Samburu passing through Nyeri on to Nanyuki, Isiolo and arrive at the Samburu/Sarova Shaba Lodge for lunch.  Tall acacias fringing the Ewaso Nyiro River shade the lodge a cool oasis in the desert surroundings.  Arid, rugged and savagely beautiful, the area is protected as Shaba National Reserve, the Samburu National Reserve and the Buffalo Springs National Reserve, together covering an area of about 300 square kilometers. With less than 300mm of rain a year the wildlife depends for its very existence on the Ewaso Nyiro River, whose headwaters rise in the Aberdare Mountains, about 300Kms away.  The area is noted for several wildlife species not found in other Kenya parks lying south of the equator, the most striking of which include the reticulated giraffe, Gravy’s zebra, gerenuk and Beisa oryx. Bird life is particularly abundant in this region with more than 400 species being recorded.  Samburu people “cousins to the Maasai” have adapted to live harmoniously with the wildlife.  They share much in common with Maasai, including their language, Maa, their dress and most particularly their love of cattle.
