Departure to Samburu National Park. Due to its remote nature, Samburu has become the preferred game reserve for tourists looking for a quieter safari with fewer game vehicles; however, it receives the second-highest number of visitors after the Masai Mara. The Samburu people live on the outskirts of the reserve in rural villages that survive primarily off the land. There is a lot of cultural interest at these villages and guests are given the opportunity to visit as a part of day-trip activities. This is one of 2 reserves where researchers and conservationists, Joy and George Adamson, became famous for raising lioness, Elsa. Their story was portrayed in the well-known book, Born Free. We arrive in the afternoon with a mouth- watering late evening game drive.
