First and foremost you need a good positive, fun and adventurous spirit!

​

                                            Most safaris are around 10 to 15 days, minimum 6 nights..

 

            Every safari is different. Each one is tailored to your interest, the time you have available and the season.

 

                                                                         Moonlight is a bonus.

 

     The distance you cover on the walks each day is flexible, depending on you and suitable campsites but it is                                        usually between 8-20 kms. You don't have to be superfit, just a little resilient. 

 

                  It takes time to tune in to nomadic life - once it grabs these will be days you wont forget. 

 

The climate is hot and dry. Rains are expected in April/May and again end October/November. This in no way prevents us from going on safari: seeing a dry lugga change to a roaring torrent in 2 minutes is something else!

​

Helen and Pete and their loyal Samburu crew are committed to ensuring that you enjoy your safari in every possible comfort and safety. They make a good team, are all experts in the bush and will proudly show you everything of interest. Helen, after many years in the district, is well known and respected by the local people.

We have one request of our guests: Please remember that you are a welcome guest in this unspoilt tribal country where few tourists have the honor of visiting. We ask you to respect the dignity of the local people you meet en route by not photographing or bartering with them. Of course you may photograph our traditional Samburu guides..
