Set in a semi-arid desert in the western section of the Samburu National Reserve, Samburu Intrepids offers a green oasis on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River - the lifeline of this beautiful park. Ideal for families, this luxury tented camp offers comfortable, relaxed accommodations and many educational and fun bush activities for the children.
The main lodge is built in a grove of trees, and thus trunks and branches reach through the expanses of wooden decking. There is an open-sided leafy dining room and a small bar area where slide shows are presented each evening. Set back from the river is a pretty pool area, perfect for the heat of the day.
The camp sits on raised decks overlooking the brown river where the elephants sometimes make an appearance or the crocodiles come out to lounge by the river's banks.
Intrepids has 27 tents, all of which are raised on decks. Most of the tents are under shady trees and look toward the river although the view is obscured by trees. Each tent has a four-poster bed, en suite bathroom and deck with comfortable chairs.
Many activities are available from the lodge. In an area of rich wildlife, the main focus is game drives, however, short walks and camel treks to local villages can also be arranged. In the evenings several educational slide shows are put on for those interested in the park, Samburu culture and wildlife.
