Subjects : The Samburu National Reserve has an ecosystem that is close to perfection, despite being in a very arid area. The possibilities are many, both for those who love wildlife in general, and for those who love birds or landscapes. There are only species to photograph them and in a few other places. Along the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro river you will find many elephants, leopards and some many different species of birds. The advice we can give to the lovers of photography is to make game drive along the banks of the river on the side of the Samburu and preferring to devote himself to landscapes inland areas (those in the Sopa Lodge, near all'airstrip for instance) and Buffalo Spring .

Recommended equipment : For those who love landscapes, photographing the stars, the advice is to have the tripod in tow. For those who are dedicated only to the fauna tripod can let you safely home. There is no need long focal lengths. Along the banks of the river you can photograph many subjects remained below 300 mm (elephants, reticulated giraffes, oryx, Grevy's zebra, gerenuk, lion and leopard).

Best months : We we visited between August and September and the colors from the photographic point of view were top notch. The aridity of the area pushes animals to frequent the banks of the river and that's where the big cats and even the wild dogs prefer to hunt. The starry sky virtually unforgettable, cloudless every night.

How to get there : The road to Samburu is not very complicated. Starting from Nairobi just take the classic route outbound to the north and east through the towns of Nyeri, Nanyuki and Isiolo finally

Visits : The park fees are currently $ 40 and must be paid at the gate input
