The Intrepids in Samburu is absolutely amazing!!! The “tents” are very well maintained and the decor is fantastic. The food and drinks are excellent. The hotel hosts educational seminars every night, which can be lots of fun. The staff is authentically good natured, considerate, and professional. The swimming pool is inviting and clean. Wifi is available in the lobby. We... More

First class. The location, the bar, the service, the food, the room. Oh wow. Trust me, you won't regret staying here. And the reserve is just beautiful. The prices in the gift shop are reasonable also. This is luxury in the heart of Africa. We do not recommend the cultural show ($20) with the natives. Better to go on the... More

You must come to this place. Peaceful and serene beyond belief. The staff, the tents (couldn't believe it - not Girl Scout tents). The food was a great surprise. I was expecting rice and beans and got 5 star food with wonderful presentations. From beginning to end, this a must do and must see. It is on the banks of... More

Spectacular place overall. We were ther for our honeymoon in April and had an outstanding experience. The besthotel of our trip to Kenya by far. The tents are great, very comfortable, cozy and super clean, yet close enough to experience nature. We had baboons, elephants and many other creatures roaming close to the camp, but always safe and respectful of... More

Samburu Intrepids is a great choice for a safari. I stayed at the end of March 2012 and really did not know what to expect. I found beautiful tents with either two twin or one king size bed, wooden floors, a ceiling fan, ensuite bathroom and a beautiful deck with a view overlooking the river. The river was dry while...

Great location, great service and fantasic attention to detail. My family and I spent Easter weekend at Intrepids on an all inclusive plan. Start the morning with a tea, coffee and/or hot chocholate brought to your tent with a wake up call. After your morning game drive, enjoy a nice buffet breakfast with anything and everything you could want. Relax... More

We stayed at Samburu Intrepids from 10th-12th March 2012 as part of a Heritage Flying Safari. Tent no 26 is the last in the camp and we were kept awake by elephants eating from the bushes next to the tent - a surreal and wonderful experience! The location was beautiful, secluded and 'part of the bush' and facilities and food... More
