The camp is known for its intimate atmosphere, luxurious amenities, and proximity to wildlife, making it a good choice for travelers seeking both style and adventure.

This program educates children about the local wildlife and ecosystem through fun activities like nature walks and tracking.
For accommodation Samburu Intrepids Camp has 28 modern and refurbished tents, each with a private view over the wildlife-rich banks of the river. All tents are equipped with modern comforts, including en-suite bathrooms, hot showers, and comfortable four-poster beds with netting to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep. Each tent sits on a raised deck overlooking an ancient elephant migration corridor and, more often than not, these sentient giants of Africa make an appearance. At other time, the crocs come out to lounge by the river’s banks. A pool surrounded by the beauty of the African bush is perfect for cooling off during high noon.
Sarova Intrepid’s restaurant offers a range of international and local cuisine, with meals served in an open-air dining area overlooking the river.
