As soon as you walk inside your tent, it's easy to forget its a tent .. king size bed, spacious shower and bathroom, sitting area, and even a makeup table. The staff was very attentive..I never had to worry about my food allergies. Our tour operator mentioned that we were there for our 30th anniversary so the staff came out... More

This camp is really worth a stay! It's a small tented camp, set along the beautiful Samburu river. Tents are very nice and comfortable, the food very good, staff nice and elephants literally walking all over the place at night :) More

I just spent a wonderful 4 nights at Elephant bedroom and the name is so perfect. I was a senior citizern travelling alone so Joseph [manager] was kind enough to place me in the tent closest to the reception area. Every day elephants walked right by my tent especially a large male who was nicknamed Obama. I'm glad to be... More

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
