Kenya Safaris: Samburu Intrepids Camp 

Samburu Intrepids Camp (Northern Kenya 5 )

Exceptionally light, cool and airy, Samburu Intrepids Camp is a welcoming place to arrive at in the heat of the day. Staff await you with chilled flannels and iced fruit juice. High makuti roofs (palm thatch) rest on huge timbers to shade the open spaces of the main lodge.

The lodge lies on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River, an excellent spot for wildlife, and guests may watch the local Samburu tribe in their traditional red robes watering their goats on the far side. The camels, on which guests may ride, rest under the trees beside the still green waters of the river. The richly colored woods, stylish black leather safari chairs and tent green canvas upholstery used within the lodge building are highlighted by the tropically bright gardens. Hornbills cluck and woodpeckers tap among trees dripping with yellow blooms. A large free-form pool is surrounded by white cushioned sun loungers and bright towels the blue of an African sky.  Samburu Intrepids is an ideal base for both safari and relaxation.
