Larsens Camp
- Samburu, Kenya Travel
Larsens Camp was opened in 1987, and
is set in lush lawns on the bank of the Uaso
Nyiro, a river in
Samburu
National Reserve,
320 km north of
Nairobi,
Kenya,
on the border of the old Northern Frontier
Province.
Tranquility and nature embrace you the
minute you enter Larsens with the river
being the perfect stage for an endless
pageant of wildlife - elephants rolling and
trumpeting in the shallows, timid impala
nervously drinking, baboons and vervet
monkeys swinging through the canopy of
trees. The only man made noise is that of
the young Samburu flutist as he slowly makes
his way along the river front. He
unobtrusively doubles as a palm nut thrower
when the monkeys become too bold.
Larsens Safari Camp
There are 20 free standing luxurious
tented accomodations each with a private
balcony. All tents are discreetly sited
along the west bank of the Uaso Nyiro River
with the result that the tents are bathed
with light at sunrise.
Each tent stands on a plinth of natural
stone and all have en suite private
bathrooms stocked with a range of Molton
Brown toiletries, flushing toilets, constant
hot water and 24 hour electricity (240
volts). Each tent features 1 king or 2 twin
beds designed in chic safari style.
-
Dining - The dining tent
is open on three sides and faces the
river. A first class dinner elegantly
served by candlelight on tables set with
silver and Larsens china.
-
Tent Bar - In the bar, Eric
Larsens old cabin trunks and pith
helmets add to the period flavor while
you play backgammon or chess on his
original boards.
-
Larsens Lounge - For the rainy
days of which there are very few, or for
the evening that you can not sleep, a
small `card' tent, stocks a number of
board games and a library of magazines
and wildlife books.
-
Swimming Pool - Larsens does not
have a pool, guests are welcome to use
this facility at the nearby Samburu
Lodge free of charge.
-
The Camp Fire - Many a tale is
exchanged around the fire each evening.
Amidst the glow from the embers, the
calls of the African night, a waft of
cigar smoke and the kick of a White
Mischief liqueur, game drives are
relived and personal histories exchanged
- it's a wonderful venue for making new
friends and imbibing the essence of
Africa as did the safari pioneers so
many years ago.
-
Treehouse - An excellent place to
enjoy a sundowner as you look out onto
the plains as the animals walk by.
-
Samburu Dancing - This takes
place in the Samburu Lodge arena each
afternoon from 2.30 p.m. to 3.00 p.m.
