DestinationNorth of the equator, Samburu is dry, rugged and completely different in character from the southern parks. It holds the "special five" — Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, gerenuk and Somali ostrich — found almost nowhere else. The Ewaso Ng'iro river keeps wildlife concentrated and easy to find.
