Soroi Larsens Camp Samburu

Set along the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River inside Samburu National Reserve, Soroi Larsens Camp is an intimate luxury tented camp offering a beautifully refined base for exploring the wild landscapes of northern Kenya. Named after explorer Eric Larsen, who once camped on this very site, the property combines its adventurous heritage with contemporary comfort, river views and a strong connection to the surrounding Samburu wilderness.

Luxury Tents & Family Accommodation

Soroi Larsens Camp has just 16 river-facing accommodations, creating an exclusive and personalised Samburu luxury safari experience. The collection includes 12 River-Facing Luxury Tents, each with a king-size bed, en-suite bathroom and private veranda overlooking the Ewaso Nyiro River. Families can choose one of the Two-Bedroom Family Units, featuring separate king and twin bedrooms, two bathrooms and a spacious private terrace.

For an elevated stay, the camp’s two Deluxe Tented Suites offer an additional level of privacy and indulgence, with a private plunge pool, outdoor shower, fireplace, dedicated butler service and a raised star bed where guests can sleep beneath the Samburu night sky.

What Makes Soroi Larsens Camp Stand Out?

One of the greatest advantages of staying at Soroi Larsens Camp is its riverside location. Wildlife frequently gathers around the Ewaso Nyiro River, allowing the wilderness to remain part of the experience even while relaxing at camp. Samburu is also renowned for the Samburu Special Five – Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, gerenuk and Somali ostrich – alongside elephants, lions, leopards and an impressive diversity of birdlife.

Another standout feature is the camp’s underground photographic hide, designed to give wildlife photographers and nature lovers the opportunity to observe and photograph animals at close range with minimal disturbance. Combined with its boutique scale and river-facing tents, this makes Soroi Larsens particularly appealing for travellers seeking a more intimate luxury safari in Samburu National Reserve.

Safari Activities & Experiences

Days at Soroi Larsens Camp can include morning and afternoon game drives, guided bush walks, birdwatching, Samburu cultural visits, bush breakfasts, private bush dinners and sundowners. Guests can also enjoy spa treatments after a day on safari, while the exclusive sunset dinner and star-bed sleepout offers an especially memorable way to experience Samburu after dark. Families are well catered for through Larsen’s Adventure Camp, which introduces younger travellers to the wildlife and natural environment of Samburu through educational activities.

Why Stay at Soroi Larsens Camp?

Choose Soroi Larsens Camp for its combination of excellent wildlife viewing, intimate riverfront accommodation, distinctive star-bed suites and authentic Samburu experiences. Its small size creates a relaxed sense of exclusivity, while the mix of family accommodation, photography experiences and personalised safari activities makes it equally appealing to couples, honeymooners, photographers and families.

The overall atmosphere is elegant, adventurous and deeply connected to nature. Days revolve around wildlife and exploration, while evenings are slower – drinks beside the river, dinner beneath the stars and the sounds of the African wilderness surrounding camp. For travellers looking for a luxury tented camp in Samburu, Kenya, Soroi Larsens Camp offers an excellent balance of comfort, character and authentic safari adventure.
