Elephant Watch is a luxury, eco-friendly camp, offering a superb wildlife experience based on its long links to elephant conservation in Samburu National Reserve.

Knowledgeable, friendly and professional guides from the local nomadic Samburu community will ensure that your safari experience in this wildlife-filled reserve will exceed your expectations. Magical encounters with elephants, studied for the last 18 years by a team of researchers, are as intimate as meeting old friends, and you can even meet and chat to leading conservationists from Save the Elephants. After the excitement of a day in the wild, you return to the calm luxury of Elephant Watch Camp, an exquisite tented camp that is extremely sensitive to the fragility of the environment. All the buildings, including your luxury en suite bedroom, are made from old fallen trees, solar-hardened earth plaster and sustainably-harvested palm thatch.

Six spacious, luxury tents with cascades of multi-coloured cottons. Each tent is covered by a wide thatched roof, with an expansive verandah and stunning views. Lovely king-sized beds with crisp cotton sheets will ensure a good nights' sleep. The en suite bathroom is built around a tree! Organic shampoo, conditioner and other goodies can be found in an assortment of banana leaf boxes on the shelves, and the mosquito repellent and skin creams we offer are all-natural products. Cold mineral water is plentiful and stored in a thermos or glass bottle inside your tent. First thing in the morning, tea, coffee or fresh fruit juice will be brought for your wake-up call, or whenever you wish. Laundry is collected every day, washed, pressed, and returned within 24 hours.
