Sitting on the Ewaso Ngiro River’s banks between town and Archer’s Post gate, this option has clean and comfortable bandas but bring your own mosquito net. The campground is OK (it's seen better days), there is a chilled cafe (meals available on request) and occasional big-nosed, big-eared visitors come in from the reserves.
