Relax on luxurious cushion-filled sofas and chairs built from twisted acacia branches collected from trees felled by elephants. Aromas of fresh herbs grilling over delicious food drift in from the kitchen. The power supplied to all our lanterns and lamps are run off solar panels. Everything at Elephant Watch is very simple and our goal is to make your stay as comfortable, fun and as stress-free as possible.

Our specialized guides meet their guests at the airfield and drive them gently through the reserve, spending time with many of our well-known elephant families, as well as introducing them to some of the particular northern inhabitants. An elaborate picnic lunch is served by the river in proximity of the elephants and eventually guests arrive at camp and are welcomed by a line of tall, slim Samburu warriors holding cool drinks. They will accompany guests to the huge mess tent which is hung with swathes of brightly coloured material floating in the wind.
