Kenya : Samburu National Reserve

Set along the Uaso Nyiro River, Samburu is a stunning reserve with unique vistas of rugged hills, undulating plains and a mix of riverine forest and grassland. There are a number of wildlife reserves in the area set within private land and on ranches, which have small, exclusive lodges.

Kitich Camp
Situated in the southern part of the Matthews Mountains, Kitich Camp is a lush oasis amid arid surroundings, a refuge for wild animals. Elephant, lion, leopard, greater kudu, waterbuck, forest hog and buffalo can all be seen here. There are no game drives as there are no roads so walking is the only option. You will be taken out by an armed guide and there are several walks ranging from the very gentle to the vigorous; there is a 40 minute walk to a natural swimming pool and an easy 20 minute stroll to an isolated fishing hole full of catfish and barbel. Everywhere are lush forests full of flowers, insects and the biggest brightest butterflies imaginable. There are 6 comfortable double tents with open-air en-suite bathrooms. Kitich is a camp for those who want to get away into the wild and be at one with nature.
