Stayed here 1 night at end of my 2 weeks in Kenya - and enjoyed my short time here very much by the river in The Reserve, especially the friendly and helpful staff and the quality of the meals was very good - better than at nearby more expensive lodge I stayed. And not a full buffet breakfast which prefer. Also liked the spacious layout of the lodge's main areas - dining room and bar. Tent/ Room was well equipped and very clean. Highly recommend and good value. Note: Despite the name- this lodge is in Buffalo Springs - which isn't an issue as the animals roam across the river and boundaries of both Samburu & Buffalo Springs National Reserves.

We spent two nights here and wish it had been more. The reserve on which this camp is situated is absolutely outstanding and would be reason enough to stay here. However, the camp itself takes the visit to a new level. The rooms are lovely and have a very traditional safari feel, but it is really the staff that places this camp apart. Our restaurant server, Gloria, was the best we have had in nearly 3 weeks in Africa. But the staff here is beyond just one great person. Every employee, from Carol at reception, to the bar staff, to housekeeping, etc were all phenomenal and a credit to good management. The food was great. We were especially thrilled with the Indian food options at lunch and dinner every day. We are huge fans of Indian food, and would rate this very highly among dishes we have had anywhere in the world...do yourself a favor and order the Indian! We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

We stayed in this hotels for one night. What I loved the most was the quality of the food and how friendly and nice all the staff was. TOP experience! better than other similar hotels we have stayed duirng our week in Kenia. Something also that is remarkable, is that you are staying in the middle of the reserve, so you can easily lions and elephants from your room. Lovely! However, something that has room for improvement in my opinion is the isolation of the room from bugs and insects. The room got full of spiders and other tipes of bugs, and there was no net around the bed. Becaus of this, we couldn't properly rest. All the others hotels in Kenia we stayed in were way better with this.

Absolutely the best service, and good food. The location is perfect and going in October/November works very well for weather, wildlife, and general comfort. This camp is highly recommended, but watch the flood warnings, it's right on the river.

Our stay was amazing, staff is very kind and friendly. We always had great service and food was great too. Booked a massage between our morning and afternoon drives and Whinnie our massage therapist did an amazing job. The lodge has a lot of shade so it’s cooler at night. Overall great experience!

Staff were absolutely fantastic. Couldn’t do enough to make our stay better. Food was great and lovely to have a menu choice. Only downside was other guests playing YouTube etc at volume without headphones. Why should we have to listen to that in the serene and relaxing atmosphere of the National Reserve. Suggest a house rule to state that the minority of people who want to listen to phones like that should use headphones

We had stayed at Ashnil Samburu before, we were allocated a tent overlooking the river which was very dry, nevertheless we were able to view game from the veranda, including the pesky monkeys, the tent was kept clean, and was comfortable. Staff were attentive, polite and happy in what they were doing, service at table was great and food of a very good standard. Would we return, a certainty.

We stayed at Ashnil Samburu for two nights in February, one of which was Valentine's night. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us like friends. The accommodation was excellent, the food was delicious and the staff were wonderful. Alan our waiter, was a joy to talk to at mealtimes and we also enjoyed chatting with other members of staff such as Emma in reception, Alfred, the head of housekeeping and Kennedy the head of security. We really appreciated the effort everyone made to make Valentine's day special - from the decorations, the cocktails and canapes by the pool, the lovely dinner with roses and wine, the sweet treats left in our room and the champagne breakfast the following morning. It made our stay even more memorable. Ashnil Samburu was our favourite place to stay on our Kenyan Safari, it is in a great location and we cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone thinking of staying there. We hope to return some day!

The place is quite big. Open, well guarded with nice view and great for your drive/walk safari. Pool is small but clean, good bar (with pushy service), breakfast could be better, lunch/dinner is OK - don't expect fine dining level. The rooms were clean, mostly without real wall, rather with mosquito nets as barrier. Strange arrangement in the cabins, but for a night or two it's fine. Grounds are nice place to have a strall, nice view over the close river and wildlife. All in all a very nice choice.
