Samburu Intrepids Camp

Samburu Intrepids is situated on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River in the arid heart of Samburu National Reserve. Samburu Intrepids looks out over riverbanks where herds of elephant, buffalo and zebra come daily to drink - together with the rarer 'northern species' of reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx and long-necked gerenuk antelope.

Samburu Intrepids is renowned as a pioneer of luxury camping in one of the world's last truly great wilderness areas. The Camp is approximately 345 kilometers north of Nairobi. Samburu Intrepids will show you this dramatic wilderness from a world of fascinating perspectives. 

Accommodation

Samburu Intrepids Camp offers 27 modern tents with a private view over the wildlife-rich riverbanks. The tent has soft four-poster beds, mahogany closets and desks, and en-suite bathrooms with steaming hot showers. The bathrooms also offer twin washbasins, flush toilets, and sockets for shavers and battery charging. The tented camp roofing is all palm-thatched, and is raised on stilts to catch the cooling breeze blowing off the river.
