Samburu Lodge.
Samburu Lodge was opened in
July 13, 1963, and is set in a rugged landscape with a
backdrop of jagged mountains and its own indigenous
wildlife unique to the region. The landscape, wildlife
and vegetation are very different to the lush rolling
grasslands of other parks. Samburu is a place for
leopard, lion, elephant and crocodile. It is the place
of the semi-nomadic Samburu people. A place of thorn
bush open plains and vast horizons. It gives you a taste
of the romance of the African desert. Beautifully
situated on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River,
everything at Samburu is geared to making the most of
the lodge's spectacular setting.
Accommodation
Samburu Lodge has 60 Rooms. It offers a choice of
accommodation spread up and down the banks of the river
in cottages, bandas and single or twin rooms. All rooms
are complete with a four-poster mosquito net.
In-Room Amenities: Electric socket, 24-hour room service

viewing - Every night, a number of crocodiles climb up
