LARSENS TENTED CAMP
Samburu National Reserve
Kenya

Introduction

Larsens Tented Camp is a small, luxurious tented camp set in lush lawns on the bank of the Uaso Nyiro River in the Samburu National Reserve.

Camp Description

The 17 tents which are shaded by palm trees have a casual colonial elegance. All rooms have hot showers and towelling gowns. The safari chairs have maroon leather seats and a complimentary sherry aperitif is served before dinner from a decanter. The dining tent opens from all three sides and faces the river. Elegant dinners are served by candlelight on tables set with silver and china. There are a number of board games and a library of magazines and wildlife books in the lounge. An animal viewing platform in the trees offers you panoramic views of the Samburu plains. The camp does not have a swimming pool, but guests are welcome to use this facility at the nearby Samburu Lodge free of charge.

Game Viewing

Samburu National Reserve is located 325km north of Nairobi in the hot and arid fringes of the northern region of Kenya. The reserve lies within the lands of the colourful Samburu people who are close relatives of the Maasai. The reserve harbours a number of wildlife species rarely found elsewhere in any numbers, such as Grevy's zebra, the reticulated giraffe and the Beisa Oryx. The long-necked gerenuk, elephants, lions, cheetah, buffalos, Grant's gazelle, dikdiks and waterbuck are some of the animals most commonly found searching for succulence among the reserve's withered scrubs. There are over 350 varieties of birds. These include the famous Somali ostrich, kingfisher, humming birds, eagles, vultures and guinea fowl.
