Elephant Bedroom Camp

Elephant Bedroom Camp is an intimate luxury tented camp set along the Ewaso Nyiro River in the Samburu ecosystem, offering an immersive safari experience surrounded by riverine woodland, doum palms and spectacular northern Kenya landscapes. The camp is particularly renowned for its close proximity to elephants, which frequently pass through the area, creating memorable wildlife encounters right around camp.

Why Visit Elephant Bedroom Camp?

Elephant Bedroom Camp offers travelers the opportunity to experience Samburu wildlife from an intimate and beautifully positioned safari camp. Its location beside the Ewaso Nyiro River provides an important water source for elephants and other wildlife, making the area excellent for game viewing.

The camp’s relatively small size creates a peaceful and personalized atmosphere, ideal for travelers who prefer an exclusive safari experience rather than a large lodge. Guests can enjoy game drives through the Samburu ecosystem in search of the region’s distinctive wildlife, including the Samburu Special Five: Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, Beisa oryx and Somali ostrich.

Elephant Bedroom Camp is also well suited to wildlife photographers. The riverine setting, open savannah, doum palms and rugged hills provide striking backgrounds, while elephants and other wildlife can sometimes be observed close to the camp.
