Game drives in Samburu is best done especially in morning hours when the sun has just come out as well as animals coming out of their hiding places to look for food and in the late evening hours which starts at 2pm to 6:30pm and to those who enjoy night game drive starts at 6pm to 8pm. All sessions provide wonderful animal viewing and during evening hours’ sunset is just awesome experience. But travelers are recommended to always go with armed guide.
