An oasis in the arid lands of Samburu, Joy's Camp is built on the site of Joy Adamson's tented home in Shaba National Reserve. The camp overlooks a large natural spring where elephant and lion jostle for watering rights with herds of buffalo and the rare desert species of Beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe and Grevy's zebra.
The 10 tents are uniquely decorated with handmade glass and the vibrant fabrics of the local nomadic tribes. Each tent has a large main bedroom, permanent en suite bathroom (stone floors, flush toilet, hot and cold running water and shower).
The private verandas take advantage of the breathtaking views of the surrounding hills, and are equally ideal for game viewing.
Game drives, guided bush walks, bush breakfasts along Ewaso Nyiro River and Gorge, and sundowners are some of the activities on offer, including a swimming pool and massage facility. For historical interest, you can visit the Joy Adamson Museum.
Meals include fresh homemade breads, pastas, traditional Italian risottos, and fresh organic salads. Joy's Camp is happy to cater to special diets such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, etc.
