Das Samburu-Nationalreservat im trockenen Norden Kenias ist berühmt für seine einzigartigen Arten – fünf endemische Arten, die nirgendwo anders in Kenia oder Tansania vorkommen: das Grevy-Zebrastreifenpferd (das größte der Welt), die gefleckte Giraffe, das Beisa-Oryx, der Somali-Strauß und das Gerenuk. Der Fluss Ewaso Ng'iro, der durch das Reservat fließt, ermöglicht das Überleben großer Elefantenherden und Löwen. Die abgelegene und zerklüftete Landschaft von Samburu vermittelt ein Gefühl von Wildheit und bietet ein völlig anderes Erlebnis im Vergleich zum Mara.
