The property
Samburu Intrepids Tented Camp is a classic luxury tented camp set along the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in Samburu National Reserve. The camp features spacious thatched-roof tents on raised decks, four-poster beds, modern en-suite bathrooms and private verandas, combined with a riverside restaurant, swimming pool and excellent guided safari experiences.
Samburu Intrepids sits on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River, and its thatched-roof tents lean into the classic safari aesthetic — four-poster beds under mosquito nets, mahogany furniture, wooden floors, and modern bathrooms with a double vanity. It’s a camp that photographs well and lives up to the photos, with a river-facing restaurant terrace that makes buffet meals feel like an occasion rather than a routine.
Twice-daily guided game drives are the backbone of a stay here, supplemented by morning bush walks for guests who want time on foot rather than in a vehicle. A swimming pool, massage treatments, and a children’s playground round out the facilities, making this one of the more family-workable luxury options along the river.
