Located deep inside one of Africa's most remote and untamed wildernesses, Samburu Intrepids offers the latest in exclusive camping. Run on rigorous eco-principles, the 27 luxurious en suite tents have large four-poster beds and classic safari furniture. You will overlook riverbanks rich with wildlife from your secluded personal veranda. Professionally led game drives allow you close encounters with rare animals, from reticulated giraffe to majestic Beisa oryx. There are also walking safaris, village tours and sedate camel rides, after which a dip in the oasis swimming pool refreshes the senses. Romantic sundowners and dinner under a canopy of stars bring the day to a memorable end.
