A Luxurious Haven in Kenya's Untamed Wilderness
Nestled within a shady grove of acacia trees on a dry riverbed, Kalepo Camp offers an intimate and exclusive-use luxury tented experience in the heart of Samburuland, Northern Kenya. Spanning 390,000 acres across both sides of the Mathews Mountains, this camp provides guests with unparalleled access to one of Kenya's most pristine and culturally rich regions.

Accommodations at Kalepo Camp are thoughtfully designed to blend comfort with the surrounding natural beauty. The camp features three double or twin en-suite tents, each tastefully decorated and equipped with overhead fans and high-quality linens, ensuring a restful stay for up to six guests. Additionally, a family unit comprises adjacent double or twin en-suite tents, comfortably accommodating four guests, with provisions for extra children on camping beds. The open-air bathrooms, fitted with double basins, running water, flush toilets, and hot showers, allow guests to indulge in the unique experience of showering under the stars or amidst the morning chorus of birds.

Dining at Kalepo Camp is a culinary journey that emphasizes locally sourced ingredients and traditional Kenyan flavors. Meals are served in a communal setting, fostering a sense of community and shared adventure among guests. Whether enjoying a hearty breakfast as the sun rises over the Mathews Mountains or a sumptuous dinner under the starlit African sky, each meal is an opportunity to savor the rich culinary heritage of the region.

Beyond the comforts of the camp, guests can enjoy guided bush walks to explore local flora and fauna or engage in traditional Samburu warrior games. For relaxation, 'slow safari' experiences include massages, poolside leisure, or quiet moments in nature. Visits to the nearby Reteti Elephant Sanctuary provide a unique insight into conservation efforts.
