In the remote upper slopes of the Matthews Mountain Range, towards the Northern Frontier of Kenya, there’s a well-kept secret for those looking to escape the ordinary. Under a dense canopy of trees, overlooking the Ngeng River, is a classic-style tented camp – an oasis of calm and cultural richness.
The camp has only six tents, offering an intimate and exclusive experience. What sets this camp apart from the rest? It’s not just the breathtaking vistas or the crisp mountain air. It’s the people – your guides, your companions on this extraordinary journey. They are Samburu warriors, guardians of the land, intimately acquainted with every hidden trail, every secret spring. They invite you to explore their home, to venture into places rarely seen by outsiders.
Walk along forest paths, navigate the rich undergrowth to discover streams of pure spring water and breathe deeply as you engage your senses, the sights and sounds of untouched nature.
For the bold and adventurous, there are exclusive sleep-outs in fly-camps on the banks of dry wadis (dry riverbeds, or luggas, as they’re called in Kenya). These temporary riverbed camps, accessible only to guests, offer a unique opportunity to connect with the land under the vast African sky, under a blanket of stars.
To reach these remote fly-camping sites, you have a choice – walk on foot with Samburu warriors, their camels carrying your light luggage, or opt for a 4×4 adventure. Our choice? A five-hour walk that became an unforgettable part of the experience.
This is more than a journey; it’s an escape from the ordinary. Watch nature unfold as the Samburu share their culture with you, in the land of their ancestors. And as the sun sets over the Matthews Mountain Range, creating hues of orange and pink across the sky, you realize that you’ve found a place where time seems to stand still – a place to stay forever.
