Elephant Watch Camp

Facilities

Each of the six spacious, open tents, has a thatched roof and natural wood supports, with rugs and cushions scattered across the floors. Colourful cotton drapes down from the ceiling to form light, airy walls. These remarkable structures have all been cleverly designed from trees and logs knocked down by elephants.

Bathrooms have environmentally friendly long-drop toilets and solar-heated showers, built around gnarled acacia trees. Above, they are open to the brilliantly clear African sky.

The main areas include a bar, small library, dining area and lounge. The camp has a very bohemian feel, with natural designs and colourful fabrics draped amongst the thatched building.

Activities

The focus is very much on elephants, with guided game drives, visits to the research centre and elephant watching. However, there are a number of other activities. These include:

• Bush walks with local Samburu
• Village visits
• Mountain hikes
• Scenic helicopter flights.
