About Elephant Bedroom Camp

Built on stilts, overlooking the Ewaso Nyiro River, the luxury tented camp is located in the middle of the Samburu National Reserve. The indigenous trees and doum palms surrounding the tented camp attract herds of elephants, which is where the name comes from. The best thing about the area are the fantastic game sightings you will have on game drives and guided walks.

Guests also get to meet locals from the Samburu tribe who teach guests about their culture and showcase traditional dances. Another highlight is the cuisine at Elephant Bedroom Camp is a highlight and guests can look forward to generous breakfasts, three-course al fresco lunches and four-course dinners served under the stars.
