Northern Conservancies

Did you know that northern Kenya is home to some truly special, lesser-known parks? From the Big Five in Ol Pejeta Conservancy to the unique Samburu Reserve with the Samburu Five, and the ultimate hidden gem—Meru National Park. Discover these rugged and authentic safari experiences here!

Ol Pejeta

Ol Pejeta was originally a cattle ranch but completely transformed its business model in the late 20th century by developing a successful safari experience. Now privately owned, it is recognised as one of the most successful conservancies! In addition to the classic game drive, you can enjoy a variety of other safari-related activities here.

Samburu Wildlife Reserve

Remote and therefore completely untouched by mass tourism—Samburu Wildlife Reserve. This park exudes a serenity that is truly remarkable. Here, you can peacefully observe diverse wildlife and explore stunning landscapes. Samburu National Park is home to large predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as rare northern Kenyan species like the Grevy’s zebra, the Somali ostrich, and the gerenuk. Additionally, it’s the place to be for bird enthusiasts!

The Butterfly People

Raw, diverse, and vibrant! Embark on an adventurous hike through the rainforest with Samburu warriors, taking in breathtaking views. The Samburu are a nomadic tribe in northern Kenya, closely related to the Maasai. They rely primarily on livestock—cattle, goats, sheep, and even camels. Known as ‘The Butterfly People’, they are distinguished by their brightly coloured clothing and intricate jewellery.

Meru National Park

Meru National Park is located 348 km from Nairobi and, due to its relative obscurity, is not comparable to the heavily visited Masai Mara. It features diverse landscapes, from wide open plains to numerous rivers and lush forests. Like in Samburu National Park, you’ll find large predators here, as well as an abundance of bird species.
