About Basecamp Samburu

Basecamp Samburu sits within the 200,000 -acre Kalama Conservancy: five intimate tents with views of the sacred Mount Ololokwe, each with a private terrace looking out over the Samburu wilderness. Spend your days under canvas and, if you choose, your nights entirely under the stars. Our star beds, a first in our portfolio, include one with a jacuzzi and another with a private dining area, and they make the Samburu night sky feel as if it were arranged just for you.

Accommodation Options

Star beds

Far from the glow of city lights, the African night sky reveals itself in all its splendour. At Basecamp Samburu, darkness is not the end of the day it is the beginning of something extraordinary.

Our two open-air star beds are designed for those who wish to sleep beneath a canopy of stars, drifting off to the sounds of the Samburu wilderness with the sparkling heavens stretching endlessly above.

Wake to the first light of an African dawn, having spent the night closer to the wild than you ever imagined possible.

Double Tent

Nestled within the rhythm of Samburu wilderness, our double tents offer an intimate retreat where comfort and the wild exist in perfect harmony.

Each of our four double tents is thoughtfully appointed with a generous double bed, dressed in crisp linens and positioned to invite the sights and sounds of the bush directly into your space. The ensuite bathroom brings together the comforts of home with the spirit of the African outdoors.

Step outside onto your private terrace, where a dedicated seating area awaits. Whether you choose to spend a leisurely afternoon watching the world drift by or linger into the cool of a Samburu evening with a sundowner in hand, the terrace becomes your own personal window into the wilderness.

Here, the boundaries between inside and out dissolve entirely.
