A reimagined boutique tented camp set quietly along the Ewaso Nyiro, offering a refined riverside retreat that welcomes families and couples alike, with an emphasis on privacy and personal service.

Now operated by the Soroi Collection, the former Larsens has been refreshed as a modern luxury camp on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River. Tents face the river, and the camp pairs classic safari comfort with contemporary styling. Guests enjoy game viewing across both Samburu and adjoining Buffalo Springs.
