here have been more than 390 bird species recorded in Samburu and Buffalo Springs National Reserves. The reserves protect a variety of habitats, including arid acacia savannah, scrub and gallery forest alongside the Ewaso Nyiro River. The dry, open country offers very rewarding birding opportunities and boasts a number of northeast African dry-country species shared with Ethiopia and Somalia, such as vulturine guineafowl, Somali bee-eater and golden-breasted starling.
Best Time for Bird Watching
Samburu is a bird-watcher’s delight all year. Many unusual dry-country specials reside here and can be spotted year-round. But things really get exciting when migratory birds arrive in the reserve around November and stay until April. One important consideration is the weather, as heavy showers can affect your birding plans. November and April receive the most rainfall, so December to February or March are generally best for bird watching.
November to April: This is the peak season for migratory birds. Local species are often in breeding plumage, making it ideal for birdwatching.
- Ewaso Ng'iro River: This vital water source supports a diverse range of birdlife.
- Arid Savannah & Rocky Outcrops: These habitats are home to specialized arid-zone species found only in the region.
- Endemic & Arid Specialists:The Somali Ostrich, Vulturine Guineafowl, Hunter's Sunbird, and William's Lark are highly sought-after species.
-
Raptors:Keep an eye out for the impressive Martial Eagle and the Black-chested Snake Eagle.
-
Waterfowl & Wading Birds:The area is known for species like the Abdim's Stork and African Spoonbill.
-
Bustards:The Kori Bustard, Africa's largest flying bird, is another possibility.
- Combine with Game Drives:Birdwatching is excellent during game drives, especially in the early morning and late afternoon.
-
Visit the Ewaso Ng'iro River:The riverbanks are excellent spots for observing water-associated birds and other wildlife.
-
Explore Different Habitats:Seek out different environments, such as the arid areas, for unique species.

ProfessionThank you for providing the different concentrations of wildlife. The guides/drivers were all experts, but I thought Lenard was most personable… All were competent. Having a Masai connection added interest. Without exception the administrators and their staffs were excellent. I appreciated the participation many showed – engaging in soccer with the children, for example.
