This was the second part of our Safari in the Samburu after spending three nights in the Mara (see review on Saruni Mara). We had read all the reviews about Elephants in the camp, but were sceptical about the reviews. The camp is situated in the heart of the Samburu national park right on the river opposite Buffalo Springs National Park. The camp is made up of 12 standard tents and two deluxe. The standard tents are numbered 1-12 and the two deluxe have names, Lakira being one, which we stayed in. The camp is ideally situated because it is on the path of a group of about 15 elephants and each of the three mornings we were there, the Elephants made their way across the river from Buffalo Springs, through the camp, with everyone being evacuated during breakfast. Wow. ..... Secondly our tent being at the end of the camp, was also a pathway across the river for the Elephants and everyday, they would be just a few feet away from our veranda, a fantastic treat. We even had Obama (Male elephant) rip open the Velcro covering on our pool and drinking from it, amazing. So yes if you want to see Elephants in your garden this is the place to stay. The camp and tents are all very high end, it was nice to have a choice of food for both lunch and evening meal and the staff were very attentive along with Julius our driver, they made the whole stay very magical for us. At the time of year we went we saw many elephants, a herd of 40 on one day. Seeing a Leopard at the end of our last day was the icing on the cake. The only minor criticism is that because there is a shortage of tables on the shoreline, the manager should not bag one of those tables for herself and her guests, she should allow paying guests that choice.
