At Elephant Bedroom Camp, the river is the dining room. Breakfast and lunch are served on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro, in the shade of doum palms, and the elephants that gave the camp its name are often close enough to share the view.
This intimate tented camp sits inside Samburu National Reserve, decorated with vibrant African colours. Monkeys and impala regularly visit the camp, while lions, leopards and the reserve’s rare northern species roam the surrounding plains.
Meals are continental in style, and the kitchen caters for a range of dietary needs. Dinner is served in the dining area overlooking the river, or you can arrange a private meal on your veranda or beneath the stars.
Between game drives, the lounge tent and its broad veranda are an easy place to unwind. Evenings might bring a talk on Samburu culture from the resident naturalist or a performance by local Samburu warriors. The camp also employs people from the surrounding community and supports local education.
ACCOMMODATION
Each luxury tent opens onto a private veranda overlooking the Ewaso Nyiro River, with your own plunge pool for cooling off between game drives. Inside, rustic African furnishings and bright touches of colour give the tent a relaxed, homely feel. There is a comfortable lounge area, a choice of one king-size bed or two queen-size beds, and an en-suite bathroom. Tents sleep up to three guests, which suits families or friends travelling together.
Elephant Bedroom Camp sits on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in Samburu National Reserve, shaded by doum palms with rolling hills beyond. The drive from Nairobi takes around five hours. Most guests fly instead, with Safarilink and Air Kenya each flying twice daily from Nairobi to the Kalama, Oryx and Buffalo airstrips. From there it is a 30 to 60 minute drive to camp, with game viewing along the way.
