Basecamp Samburu

Kalama Conservancy, Kenya

About Basecamp Samburu

Nestled in the heart of the 200,000-acre Kalama Conservancy in Samburu, Basecamp Samburu offers a unique and intimate safari experience. This under-canvas tented camp, the second property in the conservancy after Saruni Samburu, evokes the spirit of early explorers with its five tents, including one family tent and four double tents. Each tent is designed to blend seamlessly with the rugged landscape, featuring private terraces that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding wilderness, including the majestic Mt. Ololokwe.

One of the camp’s most distinctive features is its star beds, a first in our portfolio, allowing guests to sleep under the vast Samburu skies. These elevated beds provide a truly magical experience, with one star bed offering a jacuzzi and the other a private dining area.

Guests at Basecamp Samburu can also enjoy a range of amenities, including en-suite bathrooms, a lounge area, and dining facilities within the main tent. Whether you’re seeking adventure, tranquility, or a deeper connection with nature, Basecamp Samburu offers a perfect escape into the wild, all while supporting and preserving the local community and ecosystem.

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.
