Kenya
Samburu Intrepids Lodge is famous as a pioneer of luxury
camping in one of the world's last truly great wilderness areas.
Samburu Intrepids Lodge will show you this dramatic wilderness,
Samburu National Reserve, from a world of fascinating perspectives:
through early morning game drives, walking safaris with
skilled Samburu guides, sedate Camel rides, and raft trips when the
river is high.
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. Enjoy
sundowners and starlit dinners, tours to Samburu villages and 'bush
secrets' and traditional dances by local warriors and maidens.
Samburu Intrepids Lodge also offers lectures and slide shows on
culture and wildlife and a heritage famous Adventurers' Club for
the kids.
Rooms
This luxurious tented lodge offers 30 modern and newly
refurbished tents with a private view over the wildlife-rich
riverbanks. All the tents are large and spacious under
palm-thatched roofs with netted screens to allow for the river
breeze to keep them cool and give you stunning views of the land
that is Samburu. 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 banks. All tents are
fitted with fans. For families with children wanting more space,
you have a choice of the family tents, an ensemble of two tents
with a spacious lounge and a wide deck complete with lounging
chairs and tables, ideal for relaxing and private meals.
Beautifully styled with ethno-African and modern pieces, they are
simply superb for family stays. The bathrooms also offer twin
washbasins, flush toilets, and sockets for shavers and battery
charging.
