Samburu Wildlife Photo Tour
Join us for a Samburu wildlife photo tour. Located in the arid north of Kenya, Samburu National Reserve is a rugged and remote wilderness that offers a unique safari experience. Samburu offers the chance to see unique wildlife including the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, Gerenuk, Beisa oryx and vulturine guineafowl.
This tour focuses on photographing this unique wildlife in their landscape. We will also focus on leopard, who live among rocky outcrops that make for a dramatic photograph.
