The Elephant Bedroom Camp is a small (approx 10 tents) resort right along a beautiful river in Samburu. The accommodations are incredibly elegant yet modest. The bathrooms are luxurious and the shower by far is the best I had in all of Kenya. The service is superb! Food is wonderful with exceptional vegetarian options. One of the best places I... More

How to describe such a multi-dimensional place: the location and scenery and animals make this place special before you add the camp; adding the camp made this visit, for me, exceptional. The tents are stilted above the ground, and comfortable beyond imagination – luxury beds, luxury hot shower, and general comfort. Drinking water is provided. FOOD is a big part... More

We recently spent two nights at Elephant Bedroom in Samburu and it was an all in all fantastic experience! Superb place, great tents with all amenities and a very nice and atmospheric environment with friendly and nice staff. Well managed and clean. Every tent has a fantastic view, the food was delightful and every once in a while an elephant... More

Camp in fabulous location on river. The tents are on stilts and are spacious, clean and comfortable with super views. Wonderful to have animals wandering through the camp. All the staff were friendly and helpful and we had a wonderful guide, Julius who made sure we saw lots of animals, including those only found in Samburu. The food was excellent... More

Stayed 2 nights and compared to the other camps we stayed at we were not as happy. The setting was amazing, the accommodations fabulous, we found the service to be average like they were all getting tired of tourists and the time out on the drives was not great at all. Two hours in the morning and 2 hours in... More

We stayed there for 4 nights in August and would have loved to stay more. It was everything everybody else has already mentioned....perfect setting, perfect service, only12 tents, amazingly spacious and beautifully decorated, therefore small and intimate, beautiful landscape around the camp- not as crowded as other parks/reserves- and delicious food. What more can one ask for!! Julius the guide... More

We stayed at Elephant Bedroom Camp for 3 nights the first part of this month. It turned out to be our favorite lodging of our entire trip. The service and food were outstanding. We enjoyed listening to the river rush by while sitting on our verandah and watching the game either across the river, or right beside our tent. We... More

We were expecting something good , but this place is outstanding! Beautiful accommodation with a lovely outlook to the river. The best food we had in our time in Kenya, and because it's small, it's easy to mix and get to know the other guests. Marvellous service from the staff, but we also found this to be the case everywhere... More

We stayed here only 2 nights but was one of the most hospitable and exciting locations of our tour. Staff were freindly and chatty and always ready to help. David the cook produced delicious food, Maria the Oryx was like a family pet and best of all the elephants really do scratch their bottoms on your tent verandah. Best view... More
