Samburu Game Reserve
Samburu National Park
Kenya
Beautifully situated on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro
River in the arid heart of Samburu National
Reserve, Kenya, Samburu Lodge looks
out over riverbanks where herds of elephant, buffalo and zebra
come daily to drink. Samburu Lodge is set in a rugged landscape
with a stunning backdrop of jagged mountains and its own indigenous
wildlife unique to the region. It is the place of the semi-nomadic
Samburu people and a place of open plains and vast horizons
of the African desert.
The
hotel’s unique guest rooms are spread up and down the
river in various sizes of cottages and bandas, with a mixture
of decor styles. All rooms have ensuite bathrooms, and some
have verandas overlooking the river.
Guests
can enjoy time-honored hospitality and the mouth watering cuisine
prepared by the team of chefs. Facing the river, the open-sided
Dining Room allows guest to enjoy the sights and sounds of the
river as they dine. The famous Crocodile Bar lets you
look crocodiles in the eye as you sip your sundowner. Sip early
morning or afternoon tea from the Lounge as you watch the animals
and the Uaso Nyiro River.
Samburu
Lodge will show you the dramatic wilderness from a world of
fascinating perspectives: through early morning game drives,
walking safaris with skilled Samburu guides, camel rides, and
raft trips when the river is high. And there is plenty of fill
the hours between those adventurous game drives - traditional
Samburu dances, guided bird watches and a sparkling swimming
pool.
Night Wildlife Viewing - Every night, a number of crocodiles
climb up the river bank to the edge of the crocodile bar and
feast on food left out for them. On a good night, guests may
also see the secretive, solitary and nocturnal leopard silently
arrive to the fresh meat bait put out on a tree across the river.
