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 and Nature Enthusiasts
Ideal for families, this luxury tented camp offers comfortable, relaxed accommodation and many educational and fun bush activities for the children. Being a fenced camp means it's fantastic for those who are a little nervous of being in the bush. A really good adventure club for children makes this an excellent family option in the Samburu.
The children can join in the Adventurers’ Club which combines a fascinating bush school with practical and fun conservation activities as well as cultural and sporting exchanges with the local Samburu communities. Parents and children alike can enjoy walking safaris and bird walks lead by experienced ornithologists while romantic sundowners in the bush end the day off perfectly.

Luxurious Accommodation and Amenities
Each of the luxury safari tents are spacious and sturdy, with palm-thatched roofs and beautiful views over the surrounding Samburu lands, while the netted screens on either side allow a refreshing breeze to pass through the tent.
Every luxury tent is fitted with a four-poster king-sized bed and air conditioning. The swimming pool is a meeting place for many of the guests, especially during lazy, hot afternoons. For a bit of shopping, you can visit the boutique and perhaps stop at the coffee shop afterwards for a cup of coffee or a cool iced tea. The Adventurers' Club is created for the children and offers many interesting, bush related activities to keep the young ones entertained. The Young Rangers' Club is for the slightly older teenagers.
Every morning, you’ll enjoy tea or coffee served in your tent before your morning game drive. Dine on the deck where you can enjoy the cool air and the view over the river, or venture out to enjoy your meal under the African stars.
