Samburu Game Reserve
Samburu Game Reserve is situated in the hot and arid fringes of Kenya's vast Northern Frontier District, about five hours north of Nairobi. The area is home to the Samburu tribe, pastoral relatives of the Masai.
The landscape is dry and the savanna broken by low mountain slopes. The area around the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River (Samburu name for “brown water”) is much greener on the other hand and home of many different species.
The reserve is known for a number of species that are rare or elsewhere, such as the netgiraffe, Grevy’s zebra, giraffe, gazelle and oryx Beisa. In the northern part, where the river through rocky hills and a narrow plain flows, many leopards live. Birdlife is abundant with over 450 species recorded.
The Samburu National Reserve was one of the two areas in which conservationists George Adamson and Joy Adamson raisedElsa the Lioness made famous in the best selling book and award winning movie Born Free.
Access - Road: The reserve can be accessed to by road from Nairobi through Isiolo on all weather bitumen while Isiolo Archers Post is gravelled. The road section distance from Isiolo to Archer’s gate is 34.3 km. Air: The reserve has an airstrip that is the Oryx Samburu Airstrip.

La Riserva Nazionale Samburu è un’area naturale nel Kenya Centrale a circa 350 km nord da Nairobi. La riserva prende il suo nome dal popolo Samburu che la abita da sempre, una tribù nota per la sua cultura nomade legata alla pastorizia. La riserva è rinomata perché è facile incontrare l’antilope giraffa, eland, impala, leopardi, bufali, elefanti e giraffe e un’abbondante avifauna con oltre 350 specie di uccelli africani. La Riserva si trova in una zona arida e secca: aride savane, alberi spinosi, palmeti e foreste di gigantesche acacie ma il fiume Ewaso Nyiro, che la attraversa, le dona vita facendola diventare in certi punti una vera e propria oasi. La Riserva di Samburu è stata una delle aree in cui i coniugi George e Joy Adamson hanno adottato e vissuto con Elsa la leonessa (Nata Libera)
