If you are staying for two nights, you are allowed game drives in both Samburu and Buffalo Springs. Please make sure when paying gate entrance fee to say that you will do game drives in both.
If you want to use both gates for entry and exit, that is through Buffalo Springs and Samburu, please specify at the gates, or else you might be forced to pay extra when leaving through a different gate.

Please fact-check. This is not the first lion research project in the Samburu Ecosystem. Prof Tina Ramme directs The Samburu Lion Project under permits issued by KWS with Kenyan NGO status (since 2004). Discovery Channel and Animal Planet filmed the successful program. Its The Centre for Lion Research and Conservation works closely with all local conservancies. In fact, Ms Bhalla asked permission from the Lion Conservation Fund, project sponsor, to work temporarily with the Westgate community to complete her thesis, with agreement of collaboration. It's a shame such a promising young biologist fails to make note of that ommission.
