Remote areas such as Samburu, Buffalo Springs and Shaba national reserves, and Meru National Park offer wild and rugged landscapes with stunning vistas and the diverse wildlife they support – Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, Beisa oryx and gerenuk – that can only be found in this area. Generally off the beaten path, some of these semi-arid areas offer total exclusivity and some of the more progressive safari lodges in Kenya.
