Samburu Intrepids Camp is a luxury-tented camp in the midst of the rugged and savagely beautiful semi arid desert of northern Kenya. Located in the Samburu National Reserve on the banks of the Uaaso Nyiro River, the camp offers unique game viewing in its immediate surroundings. Located 345 kilometers north of Nairobi, the journey to the camp involves a 50-minute flight to the Samburu airstrip followed by a 20-minute drive through the reserve.
