A trip beyond our wildest expectations

We couldn’t recommend the 3-day trip to Samburu enough, it was truly the adventure of a lifetime! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The hotel was a dream setting, the landscape breathtaking and the wildlife encounters beyond anything we imagined! We created memories that will stay with us forever. The absolute highlight was seeing a leopard with two cubs, happily playing and learning how to hunt in the wild. A pack of 12 lions waking up after a long nap, a new-born girafe and the baby elefants were all moments we’ll never forget! A huge thank you to our incredible guide, Tony, whose passion, enthusiasm, and deep knowledge made the whole experience unforgettable. He seemed to have a sixth sense for finding the best spots and making sure we were in the right place at the right time. His energy and love for the wildlife were infectious, and he turned what was already an amazing trip into something truly special. If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, don’t think twice, book this trip, and ask for Tony!

Response from the operator: Hello Andrew, Thank you for writing us this wonderful review and recommending our product. We are glad that you were able to create memories of a lifetime and that the experience exceeded your expectations. It is great that you saw a pack of 12 lions. I will share this wonderful feedback with Tony your guide/driver who is very passionate and takes pride in ensuring that you have an experience that is memorable for the rest of your life. Warm regards Daisy

How far in advance should I book 3 Days Safari to Samburu National Reserve from Nairobi?

+

Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Nairobi?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Nairobi?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+
