Amazing location inside Samburu National Park with clean, spacious tents and very effective mosquito nets. Electricity runs 24/7, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Only a minute walk to the public campsite or two minutes drive to the bridge — great value stay with wonderful hospitality.

    This camp is right near the rangers hq post and public campsite, not far from the bridge. It's not actually at the river but only a minute walk to the public campsite or 2 minutes drive to the bridge

    Spent here wonderfull couple of nights. Accommodation in safari tents was comfortable. Hosts were very welcoming and ready to help at any time. Especially loved the dinners by the sunset with a good chat. Overall a memorable experience.

    We had a fantastic stay at this camp close to the river (and as such close to many animals). The staff is knowledgeable and experienced about the fauna and flora. The food is authentic, delicious and safe. It's a great balance between comfort and sustainability, which was essential to us. (Just as booking from a Kenyan owned and not foreign company.)
