At Annest Kenya Safaris, we also combine Samburu cultural tours with game drives, giving you an authentic blend of wildlife and culture.

Most travelers choose 3 to 4-day Samburu safari packages from Nairobi to fully enjoy the park and surrounding conservancies. If you want to combine Samburu with Masai Mara or Amboseli, we can customize a longer Kenya safari itinerary for you.

Samburu safaris are great year-round, but the dry seasons (June–October & January–March) offer the best wildlife viewing. We also recommend early bookings for Samburu luxury safari lodges during peak season.
