Set on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in the renowned Samburu Game Reserve, surrounded by palms and other beautiful indigenous trees lies the small and intimate Elephant Bedroom Camp, offering simplistic elegance, luxury and style.
The Ewaso Nyiro River is a permanent water supply for the wildlife in the area, and it acts as a magnet. Enjoy game viewing of huge herds of elephant, prides of lion or the solitary leopard with an expert local guide by open Land Rover.
Giraffe, waterbuck and zebra also wander the open plains, alongside gerenuks - rather odd looking members of the gazelle family, who are easily distinguishable by their extremely long necks, and their ability to stand on their hind legs to reach high into bushes in order to skim the leaves off the branches with their rough tongue. Over 365 bird species have been identified, including secretary birds, sunbirds, bee-eaters and the blue necked and legged Somali ostrich.
Elephant Bedroom Camp promises an astonishing safari experience as the name of the camp couldn't be more fitting. At night elephants, buffalos and hippos roam through the camp in search for food and water and hearing them from the warmth of your duvet covered bed is a truly exciting and memorable experience.
Inspired by the textures and colours of African nature, each of the 12 beautifully appointed tents surround you with luxury. The en-suite bathrooms are fitted with hot and cold running water, rain showers and flushing toilets. Individual verandas include a private plunge pool and encourage guests to linger while admiring the lush wilderness of the area.
The cosy main guest lounge and dining area with original oil paintings and soft intimate lighting open to the outside capturing the tranquil surroundings. Dining is a culinary experience with al-fresco meals and candle lit gourmet dinners set either under the African sky or inside the romantic dining area.
Cultural visits and lectures on the Samburu culture are also offered.

This 7 night/8 day private safari takes you to the remote northern part of Kenya, onto the shores of Lake Nakuru and ends with 3 nights in the famous Masai Mara. The first 4 nights your transport is in a private 4x4 safari vehicle. Admire the long-necked gerenuk and its fellow members of the Samburu Five - Grevy's zebra, the reticulated giraffe, the besia oryx and the Somali ostrich. Count endless bird species and stalk big cats across open plains. But most of all, be blown away by the scenery.
This is a 7 night itinerary including Samburu Eco-System, Lake Nakuru National Park and Masai Mara.
If you are looking to tick lots of wildlife off your safari bucketlist of sightings, why not consider this 7 night itinerary combining a safari in Samburu and the iconic Masai Mara. The vast Mara plains are home to the Big 5 but a safari in Samburu will enable you to hopefully spot some unique animals - the ‘Samburu Special Five’ - which can only be seen in this area. The Special Five includes the blue necked Somali ostrich, the curious looking long necked gerenuk, the reticulated giraffe which has very distinct markings, the Grevy’s zebra which has very narrow stripes stopping at the belly and at the tail, and the Beisa oryx.
This is a 7 night itinerary including Samburu Eco-System and Masai Mara.
