Samburu Game
Lodge |
 North of Nairobi,
on the hot and arid fringes of
the vast northern region of
Kenya, and within the lands of
the colorful Samburu
pastorolists, relatives of the
famed Masai, lies Samburu
National Reserve. Where better
to spend a few days in Kenya's
northern game sanctuaries than
in the riverine forest cool of
Samburu Game Lodge, the area's
first game lodges. Every guests
enjoy time honored hospitality
and service, and the mouth
watering cuisine prepared by our
team of chefs. There is also a
choice of accommodation -
cottages, twin, or single rooms,
all facing the river. At
Samburu, there is never a dull
moment. Apart from our resident
bird life, monitor lizards, and
inquisitive squirrels, there are
nightly visits from several
large crocodiles, and more often
than not, at least one member of
the magnificent leopard family.

Elephant Watch Safari Camp |
 The
Elephant Watch Safari Camp,
perched on a sloping riverbank
beneath great Kigelia and Acacia

monkeys, and sometimes a leopard
comes to hunt in the darkness. A

the Grevy zebra. Here too is a
host of predators, lion,
