Ashnil Samburu Camp

Beautiful setting! Kennedy our server was delightful and very attentive to our needs. The food was delicious. The Baboons were present and fascinating to view. The semi tents and ensuites were immaculately clean and comfortable. A great place to stay.

Beautiful well-kept tents & grounds. I extended my stay in Kenya to move to Ashnil after traveling with a group, and couldn’t have felt more cared for by the lovely professional & friendly staff. And the food! So good and beautifully presented. Kudos to the chef. Wonderful safari guides and opportunities to see wildlife - I was excited to look up to see the elephant they’ve named Obama pass 30’ in front of my tent! (Other side of a fence.) Monkeys and baboons wander the grounds. Compared to other camps in the park and to better-known parks (eg Masaii Mara), Ashnil’s prices are reasonable, & you won’t constantly come across other tourists on your safari drives in this region. In case it’s not clear: I highly recommend!

This was a fantastic camp. I have worked in some of the luxury lodges of southern Africa, and Ashnil Samburu certainly strived to be up there with them. The service was really excellent - front of house very attentive and welcoming, the bar staff very friendly, and Japheth our waiter was exceptional. We loved the fact that there was no buffet - for a change on this trip! The grounds are very well kept, the view brilliant and the night time porcupine an added bonus. Game is often seen across the river and on the plain just outside camp. All in all a great experience and we miss it a lot! Thank you

Beautiful camp with a very good location on the river. Well-equipped tents and a great team, friendly, incredibly helpful, and very professional. Very good food and service. Many thanks in particular to David for his beautiful music in the restaurant and around the campfire Ken&Ken for security and the campfire Our very friendly and extremely professional waiter, Jophethan. Not to mention the excellent massage, unfortunately we forgot her name. And of course, all the rest of the team, especially the bar crew. It should be noted, however, that the camp is not located in Samburu National Park, as the name suggests, but in the neighboring Buffalo Springs National Park. This means that if you want to visit Samburu (as well), you currently have to pay double the entrance fee (for Buffalo Springs National Park, since you're staying there overnight, and then for Samburu as well). This was different in the past, which is a shame. However, it should be said that Buffalo Springs National Park is also beautiful, and you can easily spend two or three days there alone.

The communal parts of the camp are simple, but their tents are excellent, with b i g beds and a nice deck. The food is absolutely first rate and presented beautifully. One is spoilt for choice and at lunch and dinner they have not one, but two choices for vegetarians; a rare treat. Staff go out of their way to please, for me this was the first camp ever where they run to carry your bags upon departure. My grumbles concern the carpets next to the bed, they are a hazard on a polished wooden floor and the bathroom floor, when wet, is downright lethal.
