Larsens Camp; Larsens Camp Samburu is bordered by the Uaso Nyiro River on one side; there is nothing to see but pristine nature on the other three.

With just 20 tented accommodations, Larsens Camp Samburu all inclusive adventures offer distinct luxury African safari experiences. Larsens Camp Samburu was opened in 1987, and is set in lush lawns on the bank of the Uaso Nyiro, a river in Samburu National Reserve, 320 kilometers north of Nairobi, Kenya, on the border of the old Northern Frontier Province.

Tranquility and nature embrace you the minute you enter Larsens Camp Samburu with the river being the perfect stage for an endless pageant of wildlife - elephants rolling and trumpeting in the shallows, timid impala nervously drinking, baboons and vervet monkeys swinging through the canopy of trees.

The only man made noise is that of the young Samburu flutist as he slowly makes his way along the river front. He unobtrusively doubles as a palm nut thrower when the monkeys become too bold.

Larsens Safari Camp has 20 free standing luxurious tented accommodations each with a private balcony. All tents are discreetly sited along the west bank of the Uaso Nyiro River with the result that the tents are bathed with light at sunrise.

Each tent stands on a plinth of natural stone and all have en suite private bathrooms stocked with a range of Molton Brown toiletries, flushing toilets, constant hot water and 24 hour electricity (240 volts). Larsens Safari Camp tents all features 1 king or 2 twin beds designed in chic safari style.

Larsens Safari Camp climate is equatorial desert type. The weather is hot all year round with day time temperatures up to 33 degrees Centigrade. The nights are cool.
