Safari summary

The Samburu National Reserve is a game reserve on the banks of the Ewaso Ng'iro river in Kenya. On the other side of the river is the Buffalo Springs National Reserve. It ranges in altitude from 800 to 1230 m above sea level. The Samburu tribe, just like the Maasai are a semi-nomadic people. Only the Samburu people are still very traditional and have not parted with old customs as compared to the Maasai.

Their diet comprises mostly of milk and occasionally blood from their cows.
