Elephant Watch Camp

Overview

Here, the elephants decide the day. Years among Samburu’s herds mean they now allow open vehicles right into the heart of their family groups, with expert guides who are also part of the Lion Watch monitoring programme.

Elephant Watch Camp runs on solar power and locally sourced food, and its tents are built from natural materials, even trees felled by elephants. Closely tied to Save the Elephants, it lets guests see conservation at work, with eco tourism funding local jobs and schools. Spend time with the nomadic Samburu, or set out on a three day camel trek, camping under the stars before returning for a hot shower and fine food.
