1. Elephant Watch Camp & Safaris
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 31 reviews
Situated in the semi arid North of Kenya, in a land of endless rugged beauty and untamed wilderness, Elephant Watch Safaris has established its camp on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in Samburu National Reserve. Oria Douglas-Hamilton, together with her husband, Iain, have been associated with elephants for more than 40 years, and have been pioneers in studying the intricate lives of elephants and their intelligent social behaviour. They have brought their scientific studies to the attention of the world, highlighting a well-organised family structure, with a conscious level of emmotions, pain, speech, and protection. Elephants form an integral part of the socio economic livelihood of the Samburu people who share the land with the elephants.

We stayed in the area for 2 days visiting the Samburu National Reserve seeing both Shaba and Buffalo Springs which are on opposite sides of the river. Shaba seemed to have a bit more wildlife when we were there and I saw my first big cats of the trip 2 leopard cubs, we never saw the mother and a female cheetah with 2 juveniles. Saw plenty of Elephants, Reticulated Giraffe's, gazelle's, impalas, monkeys, baboon, grevy zebra's. Was significanlty less crowded than Maasai Mara and Amboselli. We also took a visit to a Samburu village where we saw how they lived which was pretty interesting.

This is an amazing elephant sanctuary run by the local Samburu people. It is very well-run and the elephants are thriving. The elephant orphan caretakers truly love the elephants they are assigned to
