Perched on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River in the heart of Samburu, this luxurious tented camp offers modern tents with private views over the wildlife-rich riverbanks. Tents are spacious and include four-poster beds, handsome mahogany closets and writing desks and en suite bathrooms.
The camp’s location deep inside the reserve, guarantees close encounters with the region’s excellent wildlife, including elephant, lion, leopard, and Samburu’s famous ‘unique five’ - the rare reticulated giraffe, long-necked gerenuk antelope, Somali ostrich, Grevy’s zebra and the majestic Beisa Oryx. Meals are served looking out over the river (or on your veranda) and the pool, bar or television room are great spots to enjoy ‘down’ time.
