Where to Stay

Elephant Bedroom Camp

from $935 per person per night for 2026/27

Superb value for money in the best region for game
Elephant Bedroom Camp

The name of this camp says it all! Located inside Samburu National Reserve, along the Ewaso Nyiro River, Elephant Bedroom Camp regularly sees herds of elephant come down to the river, through the camp and even passed your bedroom! Walking through the majestic doum palms, the camp has a real “safari feel” to it, with comfortable canvased tents and a classic candlelit alfresco dining area. The camp is one of our Samburu favourites and is fantastic value for money!

Sat in the best location in the heart of the game

Simple camp

About the location

The camp is sat in a prime location inside Samburu National Park. Each room has a spectacular view of the Ewaso Nyiro River, as it meanders through the dry plains of the park, providing water for a diversity of animals.

Elephant sightings in particular, are incredible, as huge herds cross through the elephant corridors from the park to Mount Kenya daily.

Elephant Bedroom Camp Accomodation

The spacious, en-suite tents are comfortable and traditional. The large beds and furniture are simple and rustic and the hanging beads, separating the bedroom and bathroom, are a beautiful African touch, reflecting the traditional outfits of the Samburu people.
