Samburu Intrepids Club

Northern Kenya


Situated along a gorgeous stretch of river, the tents here are placed very close and cosy to each other, which rather reduces privacy, but despite this it’s one of the cheaper and better-value luxury options in the reserve. Intrepids stands out for the child-friendly activities on offer, including spear throwing and making of bows and arrows.
