Elephant bedroom

You’ll find Elephant bedroom camp in Samburu National reserve. It’s a small intimate luxury camp set on the banks of river Ewaso Nyiro comprising of 14 spacious tents tastefully furnished in a rustic African style but still offering every comfort expected of a luxury safari camp. All facing the river, the tents are set on raised wooden deck each with a small plunge pool. Each tent has either one king-size double bed or twin queen-size beds as well as a sofa, coffee table and a dressing table. It’s private and has seating area outside and next to the plunge pool ideal for relaxing, game viewing and bird watching.

The lounge and dining area is decorated in a lively safari style. There is the soft intimate lighting that seems to assure one that this is just the place to relax in between what you’ll find to be very exciting game drives,some that will fill your Samburu trip with memoirs of a lifetime. The camps regular visitors are non other than my long nosed friends. Wildlife spotting opportunities in the camp are great. Watching from the comfort of the camp the comings and goings of the elephants was everything, more joy than my heart could contain.

This elegant oasis in the arid lands of samburu is the perfect choice for those interested in a glimpse of Kenyan history, as well as an authentic wildlife experience combined with the comfort of a luxury tented camp. The overall chic ambience at Elephant bedroom is unparalleled and is an ideal honeymoon camp for keen naturalists.

Elephants can recognize themselves in mirrors unlike most animals who will assume that the reflection is another animal, and look for it behind the mirror. Amazing, right? Elephants also have highly developed brains, not to mention the largest in the entire animal kingdom. Their brain is 3 or 4 times larger than that of humans. They have a sixth sense as well. They may be able to detect a thunderstorm from 280km away, and will head towards it, looking for water. How cool is that? They often pay homage to the bones of their dead, gently touching their skulls and tusks with their trunks and feet. When an Elephant walks past a place where a loved one once died, it will stop in its tracks. This silent pause often lasts several minutes. You’ll also find a young one lying next to its slain mum by poachers. It’s s heart breaking to watch😢 and lastly if you’re on safari and see an Elephant lift its trunk in your direction, it’s probably smelling you. Elephants have terrible eyesight, but a very keen sense of smell.

Thank you for stopping by
