Set alongside the Ewaso Nyiro River, Kenya's biggest northern river, Samburu has the lion's share of wildlife. Besides big cats and African wild dogs, you're likely to see some of the rare northern species such as Grevy's zebra, the Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, the long-necked gerenuk, Guenther's dik-dik and the beisa oryx, known as the Samburu Special Six. #visitkenya🇰🇪 #magicalkenya🇰🇪 (at Samburu National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO9rRqkAJF3/?igshid=sc6ok8yb7zba
