Located at a strategic point on the bank of the river with elephant crossing and crocodiles, the lodge has been damaged by recent floods and requires serious renovation work (they are planning to construct a stone wall to prevent future floodings). Food is mediocre. Rooms are nice and comfortable with private balconies on the second floor. A few bungalos are... More

This was just magical. The tent was a wonder to behold: romantic netted beds, mahogony furniture, great bathroom. The food was fantastic and ample. The staff welcoming, informed, and delightful. It was our favorite place on our Kenyan safari.

July 2010...A great lodge. Just loved the amazing artwork in the reception area. Stained glass images of Samburu people etc.Nice gift shop, but we were at the beginning of two week adventure, so not much room to buy up. Food good and staff very friendly and helpful. Internet scratchy and often not working, so don't rely on getting messages to... More

This was my introduction to Kenya, its beauty and it's wonderful people. Samburu Lodge would be my 'home' for 5 days and I was made to feel so welcome. The staff could not have been friendlier and were soon giving me Swahili lessons accompanied by much laughter, the room was so comfortable and always spotless, the food was plentiful, and... More

The restaurant serves a very good buffet selection and the bar overlooks the river providing the perfect place to relax and enjooy a Tusker at the end of the day. We stayed here before in 2008 and...
