Look at the lodges first, then ask about age rules, family rooms and a pool.
Choose a tented camp with a private deck. Ask us to add a bush dinner or a surprise.
Ask about interconnecting rooms or booking a whole camp. We can manage the sleeping plan for every age.

We suggest 2 – 3 nights. That is long enough to settle in and make the most of the wildlife without rushing.
June – October and January – February. Green-season rates are lower, and the landscape is lusher.
Short flight or long scenic drive from Nairobi. We arrange every transfer and flight for you.
Riverside tents are cooler under the doum palms. Pool afternoons between drives are part of the Samburu rhythm.
Rates change with the season, the room and the length of stay, so we quote them for your exact dates rather than show a number that may be out of date.
