We just finished our 19 day safari with 23 people. All of them agreed that this was the best place that we stayed. Roomy, well appointed tents. You could see elephants across the river when you got up in the morning. Nice pool. Great staff. And the food was the best! NO BUFFETS. All meals were off a menu, well prepared and beautifully presented. WOW! And the serving staff were also the best...professional and attentive. Can't wait to go back!

Beautiful setting! Kennedy our server was delightful and very attentive to our needs. The food was delicious. The Baboons were present and fascinating to view. The semi tents and ensuites were immaculately clean and comfortable. A great place to stay.

Beautiful well-kept tents & grounds. I extended my stay in Kenya to move to Ashnil after traveling with a group, and couldn’t have felt more cared for by the lovely professional & friendly staff. And the food! So good and beautifully presented. Kudos to the chef. Wonderful safari guides and opportunities to see wildlife - I was excited to look up to see the elephant they’ve named Obama pass 30’ in front of my tent! (Other side of a fence.) Monkeys and baboons wander the grounds. Compared to other camps in the park and to better-known parks (eg Masaii Mara), Ashnil’s prices are reasonable, & you won’t constantly come across other tourists on your safari drives in this region. In case it’s not clear: I highly recommend!

This is a clean, comfortable, slightly rustic camp on the Buffalo Springs side of the park, which is very scenic. The tents overlook the river and giraffes and elephants were frequent visitors on the other side of the river. Vervet monkeys had the run of the camp so it was very important to keep the tent zipped at all times. The staff was fantastic - very friendly and efficient. The meals started with soup and salad and were absolutely delicious. We had no mosquito issues when we visited. The mattresses were very hard/firm. Electricity and hot water are not available 24/7 but are available when most people would use them.

Highly recommended hotel with great views to the river where animals can be seen at short distance. Amazing staff and great food ( Congratulations to the Chef!). We will repeat if we go back to Samburu.

We had such a fabulous time! The tents are fabulous and comfortable and well equipped, with good views of the river and inside the reserve. Staff are super friendly, too many to name them all, Richard really helpful on the grounds, and the waitress we had was absolutely fabulous. Good gluten free selection made for us. The pool is really nice! Very good massage with Rachel. A fabulous place.

This was a fantastic camp. I have worked in some of the luxury lodges of southern Africa, and Ashnil Samburu certainly strived to be up there with them. The service was really excellent - front of house very attentive and welcoming, the bar staff very friendly, and Japheth our waiter was exceptional. We loved the fact that there was no buffet - for a change on this trip! The grounds are very well kept, the view brilliant and the night time porcupine an added bonus. Game is often seen across the river and on the plain just outside camp. All in all a great experience and we miss it a lot! Thank you

Beautiful camp with a very good location on the river. Well-equipped tents and a great team, friendly, incredibly helpful, and very professional. Very good food and service. Many thanks in particular to David for his beautiful music in the restaurant and around the campfire Ken&Ken for security and the campfire Our very friendly and extremely professional waiter, Jophethan. Not to mention the excellent massage, unfortunately we forgot her name. And of course, all the rest of the team, especially the bar crew. It should be noted, however, that the camp is not located in Samburu National Park, as the name suggests, but in the neighboring Buffalo Springs National Park. This means that if you want to visit Samburu (as well), you currently have to pay double the entrance fee (for Buffalo Springs National Park, since you're staying there overnight, and then for Samburu as well). This was different in the past, which is a shame. However, it should be said that Buffalo Springs National Park is also beautiful, and you can easily spend two or three days there alone.
