Elephant Watch Camp
It is home to some of the largest bulls in Samburu who can often be spotted resting under an acacia tree or picking pods beside the tents. The trees are filled with a multitude of birds and monkeys. At dawn, a gentle chorus echoes overhead, announcing the new day in the wild. The camp, which is eco-friendly, has been specially constructed for comfort and coolness. It accommodates a maximum of ten guests with its wide and breezy desert tents, individually styled, draped with colorful cloth and unusual furniture.
Everything about Elephant Watch Camp is a feast for the senses, with bright swathes of cotton fanning in the breeze, huge cushioned sofas, woven local mats and special beds and furniture made from fallen trees. Menus are a fusion of bush gourmet, fresh from the camp owned farm, with tropical fruit and drinks and a selection of good wine.
Each day opens with a new adventure. Early morning or evening bush walks along well traveled elephant paths or collecting medicinal plants and honey and always accompanied by Samburu Warriors. At times one can witness the great river crossings of camels and cattle, fire making and Samburu ceremonies. Please use this form to contact us!

The exotic Elephant Watch Camp is perched on the sand banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River, beneath big Kigelia trees and Acacia Elatiors.
Bath rooms are built around trees, giving you a novel washing experience with plenty of sun heated water and lights.
Books, films and information on elephants are provided for you. At night, flame torches and lanterns light up the camp along the river. Baboons call out as leopards stalk, while lions and elephants are always nearby. It is the only camp of its kind in Samburu.
