About Buffalo Springs National Reserve

Buffalo Springs sits just south of the Ewaso Ng'iro opposite Samburu. Its clear natural springs create a lush oasis in an otherwise arid landscape, drawing elephants, lions, cheetah and northern-specialist species.

We combine Buffalo Springs and Samburu into a twin-reserve safari for the richest possible game-viewing window.

Highlights

  • Natural springs and swimming hole
  • Champagne Ridge game drives
  • Doum palms & riverine forest
