Soroi Larsens Camp
Sixteen tents on the Ewaso Nyiro River within Samburu National Reserve
Skip to product information
Set on the edge of the Ewaso Nyiro River within Samburu National Reserve, Soroi Larsens Camp occupies a site once used by explorer Eric Larsen. The camp holds sixteen tents arranged facing the water: twelve standard, two two-bedroom family units, and two deluxe. Each tent includes a private terrace, en-suite bathroom, writing desk, and organic bath amenities. Family units contain a king-size bed in one bedroom and two twin beds in the other. Deluxe tents add outdoor showers, plunge pools, star beds on private decks, and round-the-clock butler service.
Guided drives depart at dawn or dusk through the reserve to track Samburu's endemic species — Grevy's zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, and gerenuk — alongside lion, elephant, and leopard. Walking safaris begin at camp; guides explain medicinal plants, animal tracks, and the region's four hundred bird species. The photography hide sits at ground level near a waterhole and places photographers at eye level with approaching wildlife. You can hear the river from the terrace. Excursions run to the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, a community-run facility caring for orphaned elephants, and to the singing wells, where Samburu warriors draw water for livestock in a human chain while chanting traditional songs.
The camp is Gold Eco-Rated. A spa offers treatments using locally sourced oils. Wireless internet, laundry service, and a minibar are standard. Bush dinners, sundowners, and star-bed sleepouts can be arranged.
