Samburu Intrepid is a lush oasis on the banks of the great Ewaso Nyiro River in Samburu Game Reserve. The tented luxury camp is a delight to be in – deliciously cooled by the river breeze and the forest. 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.
Samburu Intrepids Luxury Tented Camp set in the Kenyan semi-arid north, offers 28 modern and newly refurbished tents with a private view over the wildlife-rich banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River.
Each tent sits on a raised deck overlooking the brown river where the elephants sometimes make an appearance or the crocodiles come out to lounge by the river’s Samburu Intrepids Camp has 28 guest tents sited on the escarpment beside the river. The tents are made of canvas sheltered under thatch to minimize heating and their spacious decks have enough space in front where you can lounge on your leisurely safari trip in Samburu while absorbing the tranquility of the park with its many colored birds, vervet monkeys, lizards and perhaps genet cats.
Some of the tents have doubles while others have twin four-poster beds covered with mosquito netting for your protection. They also include ceiling fans, cupboards made of mahogany and writing tables. The bathrooms are at the back and come with twin basins, shower area and quality amenities.

Breakfast is a full hot affair comprising of freshly baked bread, sausages, eggs, bacon, yoghurt, cereal accompanied by juices, fruits and pastry. Lunches and dinners are wholesome meals and their specialties like the passion fruit pudding for your dessert and beef steak or red snapper (from the Mombasa coast) for your main course are truly unforgettable.
