Samburu’s wild terrain set to host Rhino Charge 2026 showdown
There are places that I have travelled to and each time I have returned, they have met me differently. These are places you visit and places that stay with you. Samburu belongs firmly to the latter.
Located in Kenya’s northern frontier, Samburu County offers a landscape that feels both ancient and immediate. It is drier than the south, wilder in tone, and less predictable in its beauty. That is precisely its power.
I have travelled north more than once, each journey unfolding in its own way. One time, it was the stillness that stayed with me, the kind that hums beneath your skin long after you leave.
Another, it was the wildlife, emerging quietly from the landscape as though it had always been there, waiting to be noticed. Then there is the light, soft in the morning, unforgiving by noon, and golden in a way that feels almost deliberate as the day winds down.
