About the camp

About Samburu Intrepids.

Samburu Intrepids stands on raised decks in riverside forest, where elephants and crocodiles are often seen from camp. Guests can head out into Samburu or the neighbouring Buffalo Springs reserve.

Game drives are in open-sided vehicles, and visits to nearby Samburu communities and evenings looking at the clear night sky round out the days. There is a kids' club for younger guests.
