At the Samburu Intrepids Club you’ll stay in one of 27 modern tents with private views over the wildlife-rich riverbanks. The spacious tents boast the very latest in luxury camping, with comfortable four-poster beds, handsome mahogany closets and writing desks. You’ll have your steaming hot showers in your en-suite bathroom which is furnished with a twin washbasin, flush toilet and sockets for shavers and battery charging. The roofs are all palm-thatched, and your tent is raised on stilts to catch the cooling breeze blowing off the river.
Because of the warm climate, Samburu Intrepids’ public areas are all palm-thatched and open to the elements, raised on stilts to catch the cooling breeze blowing off the river.
The main dining room opens onto an outdoor dining terrace elevated amidst the shade of high trees, where buffet breakfasts and lunches are served overlooking the river. However, meals can also be enjoyed on your private veranda or at one of a series of specially selected 'bush sites' close to the camp. In the lounge and bar area resident naturalists deliver fascinating slide shows most evenings, or you can watch wildlife documentaries in the conference room with a television.
Behind the bar, surrounded by shady sunbathing areas, is the freeform swimming pool where a refreshing dip into the cool waves promises cooling relief from hot days.
At Samburu Intrepids Club you will experience dramatic wilderness from a world of fascinating perspectives: through stirring early morning game drives, walking safaris with skilled guides, sedate camel rides, and raft trips when the river is high. There is also an Adventurer’s Club offering educational ‘safaris’ for children of all ages.
The camp's location deep inside the reserve guarantees close encounters with the region's excellent wildlife, especially with Samburus famous 'unique five' - the rare reticulated giraffe, long-necked gerenuk antelope, blue-legged Somali ostrich, Grevy's zebra and the majestic Beisa Oryx.
In keeping with the new ‘green movement’ of Kenyan tourism, Samburu Intrepids Club endeavours to uphold the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility. The camp keeps close relations with the local Samburu community, from which at least 40% of our employees hail. When you stay at Samburu Intrepids Club, a percentage of your fees will go to the Community Development Fund, which has financed the development of the local primary school at Kiltamany, a bee-keeping training project, and cost-price medical services for villagers from the area. The camp itself is run on strict eco-principles.
