Elephant Bedroom Camp - Samburu

A special spot right on the river, where elephants can come right up against your tent. Watching wildlife from the private pool attached to our tent was incredible. The food was fantastic, and breakfast and lunch were served by the river. If you want a close up stay surrounded by animals, give this place a try.

We spent our honeymoon at Elephant Bedroom, and the camp was idyllic, surrounded by the natural beauty of the national park. Every tent looks over the river. We could sit on our porch or relax in the plunge pool for hours, watching the occasional zebra, elephant, or antelope wander past on the other bank. The colourful birds kept us company at every meal, and we fell for Tamu the resident impala and all the elephants moving around nearby. A big thank you to William, our attentive waiter, and Julius, our safari guide, who showed us several prides of lions and even a baby leopard (!!). Paul, Janet, Elizabeth, Raphael, Stella, and the whole team took such good care of us during our short visit. I’d highly recommend it for a special, one of a kind stay in Samburu.

What an amazing visit. The stay was even better than I expected, and the whole team made us comfortable while accommodating my special dietary requirements. Elizabeth, Gabriel, and Josphat deserve a special thank you. The room attendants kept our rooms clean and free of bugs, and the Askaris looked after our safety day and night. I’d gladly recommend the lodge and return.

James, our guide, is passionate about his home in Samburu, and was knowledgeable and a lot of fun. William was a brilliant waiter, too. They both made the stay extra special, and we’ll definitely be back.
