At a glance

Found almost exclusively in northern Kenya, the Grevy’s zebra remains endangered. This unique species of zebra is known for its striking, tall appearance, thin stripes and elegant gait. In the late 1970s, over 15,000 Grevy’s zebra roamed in the wild.

Unique Stripe Patterns, just like humans have unique fingerprints, Grevy’s zebra have unique stripe patterns and that is how to identify individuals within a population. Over time, this provides vital information on survival, reproduction and movements of Grevy’s zebra. In specific this safari takes to Samburu National Reserve one of the lesser-known national reserves, but is nevertheless teeming with life. Situated alongside the Ewaso Nyiro River, there is plenty to attract wildlife from the surrounding savannah plains. The reserve is rich in wildlife with an abundance of rare northern specialist species such as the Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk and the beisa oryx (also referred to as Samburu Special Five). Hence why we found it prudent to name this safari Gravy Zebra Safari since it reaches the reserve which is also home to elephants and large predators such as the lion, leopard and cheetah. ‘Kamunyak’, the miracle lioness that adopted the baby oryx was as a resident in the reserve. Wild dog sightings are also a common attraction to this unique protected area. Birdlife is abundant with over 450 species recorded.
