Samburu Lodge Crocodile Bar

The famous Samburu Lodge Crocodile Bar is on the level of the river bank to allow you to look crocodiles in the eye as you sip your sundowners. Towards sunset each day, bait is put out to attract crocodiles to within feet of watchers, but in conditions of perfect safety.

On a good night you might also see the secretive leopard silently arrive to the fresh meat put out on a tree across the river.

Alternatively, the Vulturine Bar draws on Samburu's abundant and unique bird life and is opened throughout the day and evening, also overlooking the river. Samburu dancers dressed in their traditional finery entertain with their dances in the lodge arena daily from 2.30 p.m. to 3.00 p.m.

On evenings, alternating with the showing of a wildlife video, a troop of Masai Morans (warriors) entertain with a display of traditional dancing.
