Why we send people north after the Mara
Same country, different animals. Samburu is the honest second week when the Mara already did its job.

The Mara is theatre. Samburu is character. Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe and the Ewaso Nyiro are not a brochure add-on — they are a different Kenya.
We usually fly or drive north after a conservancy stay, not instead of the Mara.
