The Samburu Intrepids Tent camp is a fantastic place to stay. the tents are beautiful. The warm shower was delightful (heated by solar heat). The staff was stellar and brought coffee, tea, or hot chocolate to our room each morning with our personal wake-up call. The monkeys have caught on to the cookies on the coffee/tea tray and will try... more

Samburu Intrepids was just fantastic the friendly people,service, tents, pool all excellent. Samburu Intrepids was our favourite place on our 6 day safari just wish we had stayed for 3 nights instead of 2. Then we could have had time to visit a village. Our children went to the Adventures club they made jewellery and catapults. Also did archery and... more

We (me, wife plus 6-yr old) spent three nights at the Samburu Intrepids Lodge as part of a week long safari trip; rest of the time was at the Mara Intrepids which was definitely inferior to the Samburu Intrepids in all ways. There is really nothing which is less than perfect about the property. The location is sensible in a... more

I loved this place....from the moment you arrive you are amazed that this place even exists in the middle of the bush! I can't fault anything - the food, the surroundings, the tents overlooking the river, the people....fantastic. Would love to return. Remember to keep your tents firmly tied up to stop the monkeys getting in but we spent a... more

We went to Samburu in June for our honeymoon and stayed 3 nights.. The staff are the most friendly and welcoming you could ever meet.. Our driver Jay-Jay was the best guide ever and knew everything about the wildlife.. We went to visit the local village while we were there and it was a truly humbling experience.. Although some say... more

We stayed in the Lodge for 3 nights. The staff were fanstastic, the tents were great - even though you have to tie the tents up carefully and cover up the knots so the monkeys don't get in and use your bathroom or play with all your camera equipment! It was out first time on safari and Samburu was a... more

We have just come back from Kenya and I really wanted to let everyone know how fantastic Samburu Intrepids is. Completely surpassed anything we could have imagined. We had the best guide Sammi who just knew about everything, animals, birds, insects, you name it he knew about it, which made our game drives truly special. The accommodation was excellent as... more

We stayed 3 nights at Samburu Intrepids as part of a safari/beach combo through Kuoni. (We also stayed at Mara Explorer in the Masai Mara followed by 5 days on the beach at Breezes Beach Club in Zanzibar.) We flew from Nairobi by light aircraft to Samburu which I would recommend as you do not lose the whole day as... more

I stayed at Samburu Interpids as part of an organised week long safari with Somak as part of our Honeymoon. I don't know if it was the first place we went to, and our first experience of the safai, but I found this place to be the most magical of any we visited. The electricity switches off at arount midnight... more

We went to Kenya on Honeymoon last September. I didn't really know what to expect as I had never stayed in a tented lodge in the African Bush! Upon arrival we were met by very friendly staff and taken to the restaurant for lunch. The restaurant is like a big tree house and you look over the river. It's beautiful....the... more
