Samburu Intrepids is renowned as a pioneer of luxury camping in one of the world’s last truly great wilderness areas. Situated on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River in the arid heart of Samburu National Reserve, Samburu Intrepids looks out over riverbanks where herds of elephant, buffalo and zebra come daily to drink – together with the rarer ‘northern species’ of reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx and long-necked gerenuk antelope. Samburu Intrepids will show you this dramatic wilderness from a world of fascinating perspectives: through stirring early morning game drives, walking safaris with skilled Samburu guides, sedate camel rides, and raft trips when the river is high. Our acclaimed Adventurers? Club offers a uniquely educational safari for children of all ages with our Samburu guide, Stephen Lekango. He is great with children, is an avid photographer who knows just where to take you for the best shots, as well as being a very knowledgeable naturalist, is very community conscious and very involved with community work. He loves instilling discipline and building team bonds to his young charges .
