Tambarare Camp

Tambarare Camp is pitched among fever trees on the 90,000-acre Ol Pejeta Conservancy on Kenya's Laikipia Plateau, in the shadow of Mount Kenya. The conservancy holds the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa, some of the highest predator densities in Kenya and the last two northern white rhinos on earth, Najin and Fatu, and the camp faces a waterhole where buffalo, zebra, eland and rhino come to drink.

There are just ten tented suites of 68 sq m and a two-bedroom Private Villa. Each tented suite has teak floors, billowing white curtains, a super-king bed that converts to twins, a lounge area, minibar, tea and coffee station, overhead fans and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and double basin, with a private veranda and Leica binoculars for armchair game viewing. The 210 sq m Private Villa on the far side of camp has two en-suite bedrooms, a private lounge and dining area, two decks and its own vehicle, guide, chef and housekeeper.

Twice-daily game drives and the northern white rhino encounter are included, and the days can take in lion tracking, a visit to the K9 anti-poaching unit, night drives, guided bush walks and running routes across the plains. The camp runs on solar power, grows greens in a vertical garden for the kitchen, and invites guests to plant a tree. At about 1,700 m the nights are cool.

Stays are fully inclusive of meals, drinks, game drives, the rhino encounter, the bed night levy, laundry and the transfer from Kamok or Nanyuki airstrip. Ol Pejeta conservancy fees are charged on top. Children of all ages are welcome.
