Elephant Watching

Visit the EWS Image Gallery for more photos!

Elephant Watching

You will be looked after by our elephant guides and taken right into the midst of the elephant world where you will meet some of the great matriarchs and their families, follow the known bulls and share their secret places. The longer you spend with them the more involved you become with these extraordinary animals. To be accepted by the elephants is something you will never forget.

Reticulated Giraffe

Game Drives

Samburu National reserve is home to reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, Beisa oryx, Grevy zebra, and vulturine guinea fowl, which are all unique to the arid North of Kenya. Samburu National Reserve also offers spectacular game viewing. With the Ewaso River and plenty of trees providing shade, the wildlife are attracted to this idyllic refuge and plenty of fabulous photo opportunities will abound!

Rafting

When the river is full and flowing, a favorite activity at EWS is rafting down the Uaso. Starting at the Cattle Corridor, guests raft past EWS camp (where this photo was taken), and then on to the Save the Elephants Research Center, where you can stop for a break and a talk about the research currently underway. When you reboard the raft, you continue along until you reach the Wire Bridge, the location of elephant crossing.

Sundowners

Sundowners

A tradition at Elephant Watch Camp, our Sundowners are a great way to conclude your day. Our Sundowners are located at our "top of the world" spot, with a breathtaking vista to observe the sunset. Enjoy a refreshing drink while you watch the Samburu warriors dance in the glow of a fire they created using their "firesticks."

Bird Watching

Bird Watching & Hiking

Samburu National Reserve is a bird-watcher's paradise. There are over 400 varieties of birds, including the Bristle-crowned Starling, Vereaux's Eagle-owl, Night Heron, Palm-Nut Vulture (sometimes called the South African Fish-Eagle), and Pygmy Falcon. You may even be lucky enough to glimpse the somewhat uncommon Red-headed Weaver.

For those who enjoy hiking, numerous walking trails surround the camp.

Samburu Village

Excursions

Personalized excursions can also be arranged. You may chose to visit a Samburu Village, the Save the Elephants Research Centre, Mount Kenya, or other nearby attractions. A day trip to Shaba national Reserve can be organised. Famed for its large lion prides and huge bull elephants, a day trip to Shaba is an ideal excursion. A climbing trip, day trips, and overnight trips to Ol Lolokwe, the Samburu sacred mountain, may also be arranged.
