We had a fantastic experience here. The service was top-notch and made us feel safe and relaxed. The food was delicious and there was a great selection at each meal. The tent was completely spotless and very comfortable. Sitting on our porch and watching the elephants, monkeys and baboons between game drives was exciting. But it was the service that really stood out. We would definitely stay here again.

My wife and I have just spent five fantastic night at the Lodge. The staff are all very helpful and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Our tent was extremely clean and comfortable, we heard lions roaring most nights! We took advantage of the laundry service and our items were returned the same day clean and beautifully presented. The food was amazing, certainly the best we have experienced in the bush! The Lodge is actually situated in the Buffalo Springs National Reserve, and this is where our game drives took place, early morning and late afternoon. The Lodge has a nice swimming pool, and we took advantage of this after our morning drive. The tents have a small veranda where we spent time watching the camp wildlife, such as baboon and vervet monkeys, and the various birds. The game drives were brilliant. Our guide, Shukri, knew the area like the back of his hand and tried very hard to show us everything. There are great numbers of elephants and giraffe, as well as the various types of antelope. We saw lions everyday, on one occasion following three lionesses and their seven cubs walking along the road. And the unusual sight of lions up a tree, trying to catch baboons! We also had sightings of two different cheetah families, both with cubs of their own. Overall, a great experience, and if you are considering a safari I would urge you to give this Lodge considerable thought.

Our first night on a four park tour we were not sure what to expect. Loved this hotel. It is smaller than the others we stayed at and as part of that there are maybe fewer amenties. What it does offer is a real African feel with animals right across the river at both breakfast and lunch. Monkeys and its own elephant to say hello in the mornings. It turned out to be our favorite lodge. Rooms are large and well laid out and we slept well both nights. There is a small pool that was kept clean but we did not use. Food was very good and a la carte vs the buffets elsewhere. Service was personal and everyone went above and beyond especially those in the bar area Samburu also turned out to be our favorite park. It is smaller than Masai but we got to see animals within 5 mins of each drive. It also has a varied landscape and some of the best scenery of the four parks. It is a long drive so many people break the trip at the Ark. My recommendation is take the long days first drive and miss the Ark and do a park with an animal drive instead.

My husband and I, and another couple went on safari for both our anniversaries. The first camp we visited was the Ashnil Samburu camp and we were there for 3 nights. The location is amazing, all staff are fantastic, food was great and there is a bar/sitting area to go to during the day/evening if the pool is to cold to go to. We ended up playing games in this area in between dame drives, with Harrison serving great drinks! The only feedback is that the luxury tents could use an update or have some improvement in the camp but it doesn't take away from the experience - I realize that staying in such a place is already considered a luxury stay. But the tent we stayed in the shower stall and toilet definitely need some love. The beds are quite comfortable and the tents very spacious. Some things to note: the lodge does have laundry services available for a cost, the generator shuts down a couple times a day and there are no nets over beds (not really needed as there are no mosquitos). Overall it was a great experience and would like to thank everyone at the Samburu Camp for making it such a memorable trip!

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.
