Ashnil Samburu Camp is nestled along the Ewaso Nyiro River in the heart of Samburu and Buffalo Springs Reserves in northern Kenya. This remote wilderness offers a serene, unspoiled landscape, where rolling plains meet dramatic rocky outcrops, and rare wildlife roams freely in its natural habitat.
The ambiance at Ashnil Samburu is a harmonious blend of luxury and authenticity. Spacious, tented accommodations open onto private decks overlooking the river, allowing guests to wake up to elephants at the riverbank or zebras grazing nearby. The camp’s design incorporates natural materials, creating a rustic-chic environment that blends seamlessly into the savannah.
What makes Ashnil Samburu truly special is its location in a less-crowded northern reserve, offering intimate wildlife encounters with the ‘Samburu Special Five’—Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, Somali ostrich, and Beisa oryx. Coupled with cultural interactions with the indigenous Samburu community, breathtaking sunsets, and the soothing sounds of the river, the camp provides an immersive, once-in-a-lifetime safari experience.
