Samburu Lodge - Samburu

 

Samburu Lodge	Rooms
Pool	Hotel Experience

Samburu Lodge was opened in July 13, 1963, and is set in a rugged landscape with a backdrop of jagged mountains and its own indigenous wildlife unique to the region. The landscape, wildlife and vegetation are very different to the lush rolling grasslands of other parks. Samburu is a place for leopard, lion, elephant and crocodile. It is the place of the semi-nomadic Samburu people. A place of thorn bush open plains and vast horizons. It gives you a taste of the romance of the African desert. Beautifully situated on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River, everything at Samburu is geared to making the most of the lodge's spectacular setting.
