Our first time to Samburu Intrepids and we were not disappointed. Our guide was Francis, the resident naturalist, who knew everything there is to know about the location, animals, and culture. The game drives were great, especially the baby elephants. The accomodation was excellent, the food was of a high quality and the staff very courteous and attentive. Thanks to... More

Spent 3 nights here in October 2011. We flew into Samburu from Wilson Airport and were met by our guide Dom. The wildlife sightseeing started on the way from the airport to the camp - with over 100 photos taken. Dom would stop and point out animals to ensure we got good photographs. The journey from the airstrip to the... More

Vervet Monkeys played on the walkways, and Superb Starlings flitted through the open air meal area. We happened to stay in early Nov 2011 when the Nyeri river flooded during the night. Gentle voices woke us "Missus and Mister, please get up now, the river is coming." After the initial shock, we and other guests gathered in the main building,... More

We stayed at Samburu Intrepids 2 nights and despite the first impression of a quite “wild” camp , we found it absolutely nice. We landed in the Buffalo springs park which is connected to Samburu but it took us almost 2 hours drive to get to the camp because we were told that , due to the flooding of the... More

We (my wife, 13-year old granddaughter and I) spent three nights at Samburu Intrepid Tent Camp and saw all of the big five, dozens of exotic birds, ate good food and enjoyed great service. It was a lull in their business, just before Christmas, and we were the only guests the first night. The staff was a bit overly attentive,... More

Everything about this place was wonderful. The rooms were comfortable and even had entertainment in the mornings with monkeys trying to steal the cookies brought in with tea and coffee. The food was delicious, and there was lots of it. The staff was super friendly and helpful, even cutting down a spear so it would fit into a suitcase. Tilas,... More
