探索桑布鲁国家保护区（Samburu National Reserve）
位于肯尼亚北部的 桑布鲁国家保护区（Samburu National Reserve） 坐落于 Ewaso Ng’iro 河畔，是一片独具特色的野生动物栖息地。相比肯尼亚南部更为知名的草原生态，这里呈现出半干旱、岩丘点缀、河岸棕榈林伴随大象饮水的风貌。
探索桑布鲁：地理位置、环境与文化背景
桑布鲁国家保护区面积约 165 平方公里，海拔约 800–1 230 米。Ewaso Ng’iro 河是该区生命线，沿岸的棕榈与灌木林为动物提供了关键的水源与荫蔽。当地居住的桑布鲁族是游牧牛牧民族，他们的传统生活方式与保护区社区互动密切。
野生动物与自然景观亮点
这里最为人称道的是“桑布鲁特别五”：长颈鹿（尤其是网状花纹长颈鹿 reticulated giraffe）、格雷维斑马（Grevy’s zebra）、比萨牛羚（Beisa oryx）、长颈羚（gerenuk）与索马里鸵鸟（Somali ostrich）。这些物种在肯尼亚南部少见或不存在。
此外，保护区还有大象、狮子、豹、猎豹等大型动物频繁出没，尤其在旱季时段，动物常沿河聚集，便于观察。
景观方面，漫漫旱地间点缀岩丘、河谷、棕榈树，形成与南部草原完全不同的视觉体验，尤其适合野生动物摄影。

This is a park definitely worth seeing. Rugged, diverse landscape with lots of vegetation, small mountains, and the river along its southern edge. A beautifully scenic park to drive around with a multitude of paths you can follow as you search for wildlife. It has a very wild and isolated feel to it so when you come across wildlife in varying surroundings, it makes it memorable trip you’ll never forget

Nestled in Kenya's north, Samburu National Reserve isn't just a wildlife haven, it's a luxurious sanctuary. Lavish lodges like Samburu Intrepids and Sopa Lodge cater to discerning travelers, while Elephant Bedroom Camp and Soroi by Larsens offer intimate wilderness experiences. But the real stars of the show are the Samburu Five; Gerenuk:Graceful gazelles balancing on their hind legs to reach leaves on acacia trees. Reticulated giraffe: Towering beauties adorned with a mesmerizing net-like pattern. Gravy zebra: Sleek stripes distinguish these endangered stunners from their common cousins. Somali ostrich: The world's biggest bird, strutting with flamboyant feathers and impressive speed. Beisa oryx: Majestic antelope with long, straight horns and striking black and white markings. Beyond these iconic creatures, Samburu boasts lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, and over 450 bird species. The Ewaso Ng'iro River carves through the arid landscape, creating a vibrant oasis teeming with life. So, if you're seeking a Kenyan adventure infused with luxury and a unique cast of wildlife characters, Samburu National Reserve awaits.

It's a long drive from Nairobi but worth it. It's got all sorts of wildlife and the Sarova Shaba camp is great. It's not crazy like the Mara

I love adventuring new places, as much as there are fewer animals here in Samburu compared to Maasai Mara, I enjoyed the adventure.
