Embark on an adventurous 7-day safari with Gedla Tours into the rugged and less-traveled northern regions of Kenya, where dramatic landscapes and rare wildlife await. This journey takes you through Samburu National Reserve, a haven for unique species such as the reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, and gerenuk, often referred to as the “Special Five.” The reserve’s semi-arid terrain, characterized by acacia trees and the Ewaso Ng’iro River, attracts a variety of animals and offers remarkable game-viewing experiences, including close encounters with large elephant herds.
Next, cross over to the adjacent Buffalo Springs National Reserve. The park’s tranquil setting and natural springs provide excellent conditions for spotting big cats, antelope species, and various birdlife. The contrast between the dry, open plains and the lush vegetation around the springs creates a captivating backdrop for wildlife photography.
The safari continues to the Laikipia Plateau, one of Kenya’s best-kept secrets for wildlife conservation. This expansive landscape, dotted with ranches and private conservancies, supports an extraordinary diversity of wildlife, including endangered species like the African wild dog and black rhino. Discover how local communities and conservation initiatives work hand-in-hand to protect these species while enjoying guided bush walks, game drives, and night safaris that add a unique dimension to your experience. The combination of Samburu, Buffalo Springs, and Laikipia creates a safari filled with discovery, adventure, and stunning scenery.
