Our visit to Samburu was a unique experience. As we left the hustle and bustle of the city for northern Kenya, the scene changed. Although the roads were a bit rough, the guide was driving with great care. The famous reticulated giraffe was the first thing I saw when I arrived at the Samburu Reserve! Their design is very different. Then I saw the long-necked gerenuk walk right past our car. The most exciting was the Ewaso Nyiro River. There I saw huge crocodiles sleeping together. It was certainly a great opportunity to see nature up close outside the city.
