Elephant Bedroom Camp

Elephant Bedroom Camp stands out for offering a safari experience that feels both wild and wonderfully comfortable. Situated on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in Samburu National Reserve, the camp’s spacious canvas tents are surrounded by doum palms and open views of the river channel where elephants and other wildlife frequently appear. Each tent is raised on a wooden deck, opening onto the riverine landscape with private plunge pools and river views that make relaxation as compelling as game drives. Interiors merge rustic safari style with thoughtful amenities, creating a comfortable retreat beneath the Kenyan sun. Communal spaces are laid-back yet stylish, with dining and lounge areas overlooking natural settings where birdlife and wildlife mingle close by. Days here are rich with opportunities for game drives into Samburu National Reserve, where guides showcase endemic species known as the Samburu Special Five — Beisa oryx, Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk and Somali ostrich — alongside classic big game. From intimate wildlife encounters to cultural moments with local communities, Elephant Bedroom Camp balances raw wilderness with luxurious safari living.
