The authentic Samburu Riverside Camp
Eco-Tourism at its best
Located in the heart of the beautiful Samburu National Reserve and close to the mighty Ewaso Ng’iro River, Samburu Riverside Camp offers a natural environment with very little interference to the environment and its inhabitants. It is home to many birds, mongoose, vervet monkeys, tortoises, and elephants, to name a few.
Samburu National Reserve is very peaceful and attracts many animals because of the river that runs through it and the mixture of acacia, riverine forest, thorn trees and grassland vegetation. This is one of the two areas featured in the award-winning movie Born Free, and was also the home of Kamunyak, a lioness famous for adopting oryx calves.
