Located along the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in Samburu National Reserve, Elephant Bedroom Camp is one of Kenya's most intimate luxury tented camps. The camp is famous for elephants frequently walking through the property, its riverside setting under doum palms, and excellent access to Samburu's unique wildlife species.
June to October – Best Overall Safari Season
This is the prime time to visit. During the dry season, wildlife concentrates around the Ewaso Nyiro River, making game viewing exceptional. The weather is generally sunny with cooler evenings, and sightings of elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and the famous Samburu Special Five are excellent.
January to March – Excellent Wildlife & Photography
The short dry season is another outstanding time to stay at the camp. Animals continue to gather around water sources, vegetation is thinner, and photography conditions are superb. Visitor numbers are often lower than during the mid-year peak season.
November to December – Green Season
Following the short rains, Samburu becomes greener and more scenic. Birdwatching is excellent, landscapes are beautiful for photography, and wildlife viewing remains rewarding thanks to the permanent river system.
April to May – Low Season
These are generally the wettest months. While some roads may become muddy, travelers benefit from:
The reserve remains beautiful and wildlife is still present year-round.
