Rise up to the tunes of birds as the sun sets and enjoy a scrumptious breakfast before you head out in search of wildlife. On this day, you will partake in both morning and evening game drives. A visit to the Ewaso Nyiro River proves to be particularly rewarding with game sightings. The river serves as the sole water source that supports the wildlife within this reserve.
Wild animals gather at the river to hydrate. Additionally, the Samburu people and their rich culture present another point of interest. Upon request, the driver-guide can escort you to a Samburu village for an immersive cultural experience at an extra fee. All meals and overnight accommodations will be provided at the Umoja campsite.
