Nat Hab's Elephant Conservation Camp Extension

At Nat Hab’s Elephant Conservation Camp in northern Kenya, you are immersed in rugged wild country on the 850,000-acre Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy, backdropped by the dramatic ridges of the Mathews Range. Your solar-powered luxury camp offers easy access to Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, Kenya’s first community-owned and operated elephant refuge, where babies that have been rescued are rehabilitated before being released back into the wild. Beyond the sanctuary, enter a vast wild expanse to look for the “Northern Five”: reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Beisa oryx, gerenuk and Somali ostrich. A mix of habitats—from forested mountain slopes to sun-beaten plains—sustains a diversity of rare and unusual northern species. Along with traditional game drives, enjoy guided exploration of the bush on foot. Your visit also includes an in-depth encounter with Samburu culture: observe beading with local women, blacksmithing with the men, and experience the “singing wells” in season—Samburu warriors hand-digging wells in dry riverbeds and hauling water to the surface while singing traditional songs.
