Intrepids
Clubs are luxury tented camps -- permanent tents that transport
civilization into the “bush” and are a taste of what the
aristocratic safari experience used to be.
|
|
|
|
Few
places combine convenient access to the bush with
remote ambience, refined luxury and raw wilderness in one
magical destination as does the Mara Intrepids Club. This is
a world away from the tourist hordes who descend on the
larger lodges in the reserve. The camp is 6 miles from its
nearest neighbor and has everything to make you feel at home…in
the wildest location on earth. |
|
|
The 30
tents are divided into 4 very private areas, each with its
own elegant “mess tent” and secluded riverside
viewpoints. Guest tents present a picture of old world
elegance, with giant four-poster beds and handsome mahogany
furniture offset by modern en suite bathrooms and luxurious
amenities. |
Internationally
trained chefs prepare delectable al fresco dishes to order,
all served with succulent salads, homemade breads,
delightful desserts and the finest wines. Dinner can be
served beneath the riverside acacias or in a lookout tower
where you may view a leopard as you dine. A host of
unique activities can be arranged including exhilarating
walking safaris and spectacular hilltop sundowners. |

Perched on the
river banks in the soul-stirring wilderness of Samburu
National Reserve, this remarkable camp offers a walk on one
of Africa’s wildest sides, in the kind of comfort that
makes you feel you have never left home. This refined
retreat, with 27 tents, each with its own secluded deck and
sweeping river views, is a refined retreat. The interiors
are a picture of old world elegance…but as soon as you
step outside you are back in wild Africa and face to face
with rare species and spectacular bird life. |
|
|
The
luxurious tents are spacious, most containing four poster
beds, all with en suite bathrooms with showers, dual wash
basins, having sockets, and many privacy amenities. All
public areas are palm thatched and, wherever possible,
without walls as an accommodation to Samburu’s warm
climate. Wide terraced decks overlooking the river highlight
both the dining area and lounge. |
The camp is
famous for the close relationship it enjoys with the local
Samburu people and as our guest you will also be theirs. Our
skilled Samburu guides provide walking wildlife and cultural
safaris, sedate camel rides and even rafting when the river
is in full flow. The finest prepared cuisine is served,
replacing the traditional camp buffets, with a delectable
range of wholesome al fresco dishes to accommodate any
palate preference. |
