Ashnil Samburu Camp is a luxury tented sanctuary set against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Ololokwe, overlooking the Ewaso Nyiro River. Despite its name, the camp lies in Buffalo Springs National Reserve, just across the river from Samburu National Reserve, so game drives can explore both as well as nearby Shaba.
Guests can unwind at the outdoor swimming pool, sip cocktails at the lounge bar, or visit the wellness centre for spa treatments, yoga and meditation after a day on safari. The open-air restaurant serves à la carte menus on an elevated deck above the river, while bush breakfasts, dinners under the stars and sundowners make the most of the setting.
Activities such as guided nature walks, cultural visits to a Samburu village, excursions to Reteti Elephant Sanctuary and hikes up Mount Ololokwe are available on request. Every detail at Ashnil Samburu Camp accentuates luxury, comfort and the thrill of the African wilderness.
ACCOMMODATION
The luxury tents stretch along the shady banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River beneath a thick stand of doum palms. Each has an en-suite bathroom, dressing and sitting areas, ceiling fans, a safe and a tea-and-coffee station. The views from the camp, or from each tent’s terrace, are stunning, with the mountains and the river creating a perfect panorama. You may well spot elephants at the water’s edge. Some of the tents are designed with accessibility in mind.
Ashnil Samburu Camp lies on the southern bank of the Ewaso Nyiro River in Buffalo Springs National Reserve, with Samburu National Reserve on the opposite bank and Mount Ololokwe on the horizon. The camp is 345 kilometres north of Nairobi, around a five-hour drive, and 12 kilometres from Ngare Mara Gate. Flying is quicker, with scheduled flights from Nairobi taking about 45 minutes to Buffalo Springs Airstrip, 12 kilometres from camp. Shaba National Reserve is also within easy reach.
