Overview of Elephant Bedroom Camp

Kenya, Samburu

Situated on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River, in the heart of the Samburu National Reserve, Elephant Bedroom Camp offers an authentic African safari experience in a comfortable tented setting. Stay in spacious tents that are raised on wooden decks, surrounded by gorgeous doum palms and other indigenous trees which attract almost-daily visits by a herd of elephants.

Go on early morning and afternoon game drives to explore the incredible Samburu National Reserve, well known for its lion and leopard sightings. Enjoy a guided nature walk for a more intimate experience of the African bush. Interact with the local Samburu people, learn about their fascinating culture and be mesmerised by a performance of traditional dancing.

Tent

Elephant Bedroom Camp consists of airy tented suites, creating an intimate bush experience. Decorated in a rustic African fashion, your room offers all the amenities of a more modern bush camp, but with a warmer and more personal feel.

Some of the tents are fitted with king-sized beds while others have queen-sized beds. You'll always have running hot and cold water and electricity, as well as relaxing herbal bath products to enjoy. Walk out onto your private patio to soak in the riverside views or enjoy a refreshing dip in the plunge pool.

General Facilities

Relax in the lounge and dining area of the camp, designed to capture a sense of the pioneering days of African safaris. This is the ideal place to spend an evening unwinding with a drink in hand while listening to the sounds of the wilderness.

Dining

The dining area boasts vibrant safari colours and original oil paintings. The décor and soft intimate lighting create a wonderful atmosphere in which to enjoy dinner after a day out in the bush.

Tuck into al fresco breakfasts, 3-course lunches and 4-course candle-lit gourmet dinners either inside the welcoming dining area or out beneath the star-studded African skies.

For a special treat, set out early in the morning on a game drive and enjoy breakfast in a secluded spot in the heart of the Kenyan wilderness.

The lookout of the camp is a great place to just sit and watch animals. Being a bit elevated you can see for miles and and enjoy sundowners whilst animals roam all around you!

    When we landed on the airstrip to go to Elephant Bedroom Camp in the Samburu, we were picked up by our guide Papayo in full Samburu dress. When he picked us up, he said, “My name is Papayo. The camp has given everyone English names and I'm one of five people with the name James. My name is not difficult to say and I hope you will call me Papayo.” We were happy to do that and wished we knew the birth name of the other people who waited on us on our trip.

    Papayo was dressed in full Samburu native dress. He told us when we met him that he didn't wear those clothes for our benefit, but that he was dressed the way he dresses every day. We appreciated having an opportunity to visit Papayo's village and learn about the Samburu people.

    Papayo made sure that we saw the “Samburu Special Five”: Beisa Oryx, Reticulated Giraffe, Grevy's Zebra, Gerenuk Antelope and the Somali Ostrich whose male has blue legs, etc. instead of pink.

    Papayo went out of his way to make sure I got safely from one area to the other because my knees and hips were bothering me. He held my hand from the Landcruiser to the commons area where it was easier to walk and helped me in and out of the vehicle.

    After one afternoon of our animal searches, Papayo asked Ron and I to stay behind after the other two people from the vehicle had left. Papayo told us that he wanted to meet us at the Landcruiser at 7:30 pm to take us to see a special animal. He took us to an area by the river that was all lit up and there was a table for 2 laid for dinner. Ron and I were served dinner by candlelight by our waiter who said he was sorry he wouldn't see us at dinner that night at lunch. When we were ready for dessert, the waiter brought out a birthday cake for Ron and all the people there who had set up this dinner sang Happy Birthday to Ron. I had tears in my eyes and felt quite emotional that these people would go out of their way to provide Ron with a surprise birthday. The entire trip was to celebrate his 80th birthday and this was a very special event. We were overwhelmed with the kindness of these people. I was particularly sad to say goodbye to Papayo.
