Samburu Intrepids Tented Camp

They guys are amazing!!! The property is fantastic. I came with my Dad and they took great care of us. Shout out to Lucy and Debbie in the dinning room. (They really made it feel like you are hanging out with friends) And Joanne for an amazing massage. Nuno took great care of our room. Couldn’t ask for anything more. I will miss them.

Amazing place with a wonderful and caring staff. Cleo is very attentive. The food is great and everything went perfectly on our trip. The animals in the area are out of this world!

I cannot say enough about my group's positive experience at Intrepids. From the food, to the service, to the location, to the accommodations... and then the proximity to wildlife all around you within minutes of their entry gate. Just the right amount of luxury coupled with a safari experience. We wanted for nothing during our stay because the staff made sure we had everything that we needed. We were there filming a documentary and spent 12 hours a day in the field. Returning to Intrepids at the end of our filming days was like returning to an oasis. Highly recommend.

Samburu Intrepids was the best camp we stayed at during our 10-day safari. Alfred ensured our tent was clean and well maintained. The wake up calls, where he brought coffee, tea, and cookies to our tent, were the best way to start the day. To conserve energy, power is cut during the night from midnight to 5am. We brought a battery powered fan to keep us cool during the night and it worked perfectly — we slept so well here! The dining experience was next level, each meal was different and delicious. Cleo and his team, especially Julius, were attentive to our needs and multiple times went above and beyond in planning surprises for us to make our trip more memorable. The nightly talks led by the camp’s naturalist, Steve, were incredibly informative. Steve has a great knowledge base and was happy to answer any questions we had. We were able to get some laundry done for a very reasonable price and a quick turnaround. They also have a great store with very reasonable prices and a wide selection. The camp doctor was also extremely kind and helpful. During our stay I experienced an allergic reaction (due to my own actions) and the doctor quickly provided me with an effective cream to help soothe my reaction. Overall it was a phenomenal experience, our only regret is that we had to leave. We look forward to returning as soon as we can.

Quiet, attentive staff matched the austere, arid surroundings. Lodgings and amenities were glamp-safari level. Food was accessible and beyond the U.S. private retreat level. Meals were highly accessible, oscillating between a la carte and buffet. Even skipping the fruits, vegetables and anything potentially washed in local water, we were hardly foraging, and never felt even slightly underfed, or in need of any little extra when we returned to our tent. Outside the hotel’s main gates were tropical birds, abundant varieties of ungulates, pachyderms!, giraffes, baboons, wart hogs, Grevy’s zebras, the entire world of which a competent, informed, land rover-equipped guide can and will be delighted to showcase to guests. Inside there were a few mischievous vervet monkeys kept at bay by ever-active staffers and an on-site Samburu tribesman. Couples tents contained amazing wood floors throughout, two four-poster single berths at the frontside flanks, with mosquito netting; in the middle: dressing and storage space; at the rear: toilet and shower sandwiching a double-sink vanity. The tent is encased in durable fabric and insect proof netting, which one can roll-and-zip up or down, depending on one’s levels of preference in the air-circulation and insulation departments. The turn-down service was professional, yet cozy, exceeding the echelons of any concomittant regimen I have experienced.

Fantastic staff, wonderful service, comfortable accommodation and great game drives. We were with a group of 13 and the meals were always served promptly and efficiently. The quality of the meals was excellent and the morning coffee and wake up calls to our tents much appreciated with our early starts
