On the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River in the very heart of the Samburu National Reserve, Intrepids Samburu Camp is renowned as a pioneer of luxury camping. Intrepids offers guests a safari location looking 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. Its central location and intimate relations with its pastoralist Samburu neighbours will allow you to observe this dramatic wilderness from a host of fascinating perspectives.
