Samburu Intrepids Tented Camp

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.

Our stay at samburu intrepids was amazing we stayed for four nights and had the most fantastic time. Because we stayed longer we were treated to a candlelit bbq in the garden. Safari was great - seeing Lion Leopard and Cheetah - a real treat. The food was excellent every time. Many thanks to Dom for safari and Cleo for looking after us

The road to the camp is well graded. The welcoming at the camp was awesome. The camp manager, Bonface and his team are very friendly and welcoming. The camp has a beautiful location with amazing views from the rooms as well. Loved the game drives especially driving in between elephant herds. The food is a 10/10. Special gratitude to Anastacia for excellent service at the restaurant.
