2025 | 3 Days 2 Nights Samburu Christmas and New year Safari Deals
Celebrate the 2025 festive season in the heart of Kenya’s wild north with our 3 Days 2 Nights Samburu Christmas & New Year Safari. This exclusive safari experience takes you to the striking Samburu National Reserve, home to rare northern species such as the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, and the elegant gerenuk. Set against a rugged backdrop of riverine forests and open plains, Samburu offers a unique contrast to the more popular southern parks.
This short safari is perfect for travelers looking to combine adventure with seasonal celebration. Enjoy guided game drives, stay in top-rated lodges or luxury tented camps, and soak in the rich culture of the Samburu people. Whether you’re marking Christmas or ringing in the New Year, expect festive dinners, warm hospitality, and unforgettable wildlife moments. Perfect for couples, families, or solo explorers looking for a memorable holiday escape.
Depart Nairobi in the morning and drive north through the dramatic Kenyan highlands, passing through Nanyuki and the equator line before descending into the arid region of Samburu. Arrive at your lodge or camp in time for lunch and some rest. In the afternoon, enjoy your first game drive in the reserve, known for its rare wildlife like the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, and the gerenuk. Return to your lodge for dinner and overnight. Enjoy a festive atmosphere with special Christmas or New Year-themed dinner depending on your chosen dates.
Wake up early for a sunrise game drive – the best time to spot predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Return for a hearty breakfast, then relax at the lodge or choose an optional cultural visit to a nearby Samburu village. After lunch, head out for another game drive in the reserve, searching for elephants, buffalo, and unique bird species. Celebrate your evening with a special holiday dinner and optional bonfire storytelling under the stars.
After breakfast, depart Samburu and return to Nairobi with a stopover for lunch en route (at own cost or included based on package). Arrive in Nairobi in the late afternoon, marking the end of your unforgettable Christmas or New Year safari experience.
