Soroi Larsens Camp Samburu has 20 free-standing luxurious tented accommodations each with a private balcony. All tents are discreetly sited along the west bank of the Uaso Nyiro River with the result that the tents are bathed with light at sunrise.

Understated classic safari elegance is the order of the day: hurricane lamps, wooden floors, and oriental rugs make the rooms cozy and comfortable. Elephants bathing in the river can be seen from the private deck of the tent or from the cool comfort of the dining tent while birds, vervet monkeys, and dik-diks wander freely around the camp.

Each tent stands on a plinth of natural stone and all have en suite private bathrooms stocked with a range of Molton Brown toiletries, flushing toilets, constant hot water, and 24-hour electricity (240 volts). Larsens Safari Camp tents all feature 1 king or 2 twin beds designed in chic safari style.

Meals are served as guests watch elephants wade in the river and giraffes meander along the opposite river bank while they dine alfresco. The camp also has a spacious pool where guests soak up the sun on the comfortable lounge chairs, or unwind after a long game drive with a soak in the jacuzzi or the serene spa.

Samburu National Reserve is an arid, wild, and little-visited region, well known for its spectacular scenery and wildlife not found in the south: the elegant reticulated giraffe, the rare Grevy’s zebra with its large furry ears, the gerenuk antelope that stands on its hind legs to feed, and Somali ostriches with their distinctive blue legs.

Samburu is also home to elephants, cheetahs, leopards, eland, oryx, impala, dik dik, waterbuck, and birds… all cavorting on the red and green earth, beneath the lapis sky.  With African Spice Safaris you are guaranteed a memorable stay at the Samburu.

Larsens Camp Samburu Activities Include; game drives, bird walks, sundowners, swimming, Gala Dinners, indoor/outdoor spa, bush walks, etc.
