Larsens Camp
About Larsens Camp
Larsens Camp is situated on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River in the Samburu National Reserve, offering a timeless, classic safari experience. The tents are nestled beneath towering trees, providing shade and views of the river where elephants and crocodiles frequently congregate. The environment is arid and dramatic, characterized by red earth and desert-adapted wildlife. The camp maintains a colonial-inspired aesthetic that feels both authentic and welcoming. Visitors are immersed in the unique culture of the Samburu people and the distinct ecology of the northern frontier. Whether you are observing rare leopards or watching the river flow by, Larsens offers a charming, reliable, and expertly managed stay in one of Kenya’s most visually striking reserves.
Why we like it
The riverfront setting provides incredible, effortless wildlife viewing right from the comfort of the camp's shaded lounge areas.
