Samburu

So we took advantage of our last free weekend in Kenya and headed off to Samburu, a national reserve a bit more north of Kenya than where we're used to going. Its actually pretty much in the middle of the country. We stayed in a lodge in the neighbouring conservancy, Kalama, called Saruni, and it was beautiful. We'd been recommended the place by more than one set of friends and been told that a safari in Samburu is quite unlike Amboselli, Tsavo or the mara. We also hadn't been 'on safari' (everyone here calls it that, its so lame) at all this year... so it was time.
