Samburu Intrepids Tented Camp

The road to the camp is well graded. The welcoming at the camp was awesome. The camp manager, Bonface and his team are very friendly and welcoming. The camp has a beautiful location with amazing views from the rooms as well. Loved the game drives especially driving in between elephant herds. The food is a 10/10. Special gratitude to Anastacia for excellent service at the restaurant.

The experience was amazing and the staff including Victor Cleo and the rest were so accommodative and welcoming.. The rooms were great and the game drive experience was exclusive As a family, we would surely go back and had a great time there

At 2 p.m. when the temperature reaches 37 C we get to Samburu Intrepids Camp and because we know this Camp, so without asking too many questions, we start with lunch. There is a choice of onion soup, vegetable soup, lamb or fish, vegetables and we of course take Tusker. We stay at tent No 10 facing the river like all other tents . Rather disappointingly the water is cold (and I don’t mean the river) and Wi-Fi at the reception only. The tent is very clean with a big bed in the middle and a bathroom en suite, terrace with two chairs. Not very inspiring and you can hear people from a neighbouring tent arguing. So ZERO privacy. The paths are even but the lamps along are at the wrong height and provide very poor illumination. For dinner: pumpkin soup, pork (soft) , mashed potatoes, sorbet and fruit. The camp generator noise is rather loud so try getting a tent as far as possible from it if you want to rest in peace (no pun intended) And remember, in the early morning 3 - 4 a.m. it gets cold so have a duvet ready.

My girlfriends and I went on an African Safari bucket list trip. Samburu Intrepids was one of our stops. The tented camps were beautiful, the food was delicious, the pool was refreshing, but we loved our time with Steve the most. He is so friendly, personable, welcoming, and knowledgeable on the Massai tribe. We loved his presentation! He also helped us fulfill another bucket list item- run with a Kenyan. He gave us honorary head gear, took funny videos with us, and took lots of pictures. He was a gem! We left with our hearts happy, our legs sore and memories to always look back on.

We had a magical few days at the Samburu Intrepids Tented Camp, starting with a very friendly welcome at the airstrip from Anthony, our guide. On the drive to the camp alone we saw the Samburu Special 5! Anthony was the best guide we could have had - so knowledgeable about the wildlife and the local Samburu culture, going out of his way to hunt for the elusive leopard, and always with a great sense of humour and energy. Breakfast on the rocks was a highlight, as were our close up encounters with elephants and giraffes, against the stunning backdrop of the hills and river. The staff at the camp couldn’t have been more welcoming, the food was delicious and our rooms extremely comfortable. Thank you to you all for making this a trip of a lifetime.

My husband and I enjoyed staying at Samburu Intrepids Tented Camp. Our stay was nothing short of spectacular—what we would describe as luxurious camping at its finest. We were happy to have stayed for four nights as it gave us ample time to discover the reserve, observe wildlife at ease, and get to know the hotel staff. Our tent was incredibly spacious, offering plenty of room to relax, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The camp's location near the river and the velvet monkeys on the property added to its charm. The food was a highlight, with delicious meals served throughout our stay. While the two lunch buffets we attended were tasty, they were offered twice with pretty much the same food, which could be improved by offering different foods for consecutive days. That said, upon request, the camp did a good job catering to dietary needs. The staff was truly outstanding—Susan, Victor, and Gideon, in particular, were extremely pleasant and attentive. As a nature lover, I also had the privilege of connecting with Samburu native Lenangurntaremowuarakmeteperuotenkop (Steve for guests or Toropyie for me), which made my experience even more meaningful and enriching. He also offered short presentations on the Samburu and Maasai culture and the Samburu wildlife every evening. Despite the minor inconvenience of electricity downtimes, we felt safe, deeply reassured, and well cared for throughout our stay. If we ever return to Samburu, we will stay at Samburu Intrepids Tented Camp again. Highly recommended. I want to give special thanks to Toropyie for making my time at Intrepids extra special and to Susan, Victor, and Gideon for taking so much care of my husband and me. We hope to see you again.
