Samburu Intrepids Tented Camp

Thatched-roof tents on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River, leaning into the classic safari aesthetic with four-poster beds and mahogany furniture, built around twice-daily guided game drives and long lunches on the river terrace.

Samburu Intrepids sits on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River, and its thatched-roof tents lean into the classic safari aesthetic — four-poster beds under mosquito nets, mahogany furniture, wooden floors, and modern bathrooms with a double vanity. It’s a camp that photographs well and lives up to the photos, with a river-facing restaurant terrace that makes buffet meals feel like an occasion rather than a routine.

Twice-daily guided game drives are the backbone of a stay here, supplemented by morning bush walks for guests who want time on foot rather than in a vehicle. A swimming pool, massage treatments, and a children’s playground round out the facilities, making this one of the more family-workable luxury options along the river.

Classic Tented Room — four-poster bed, mosquito net, modern en-suite bathroom.

Family Tent — adjoining layout with access to the on-site playground.
