Really loved the stay. The camp is in Buffalo Springs not Samburu but this was no problem - we had two days self drive safari in Buffalo Springs and Shaba and saw Lion, Cheetah and Leopard with the help of a ranger which Ashnil organised. Food and service was great. Great value for money.

The bed covers didn’t cover the whole bed partly because the bed was so large would have been better to have two smaller covers than one that didn’t reach.

I like it’s not a buffet so everything is bought out on request and very happy to get more if wanted.

Not so keen on baboons - and there was plenty of them, but staff always around to chase them ofd

Great location on the rivers edge. Navigating to property was straight forward. Food served to table and not a buffet (which was a pleasant change) Pool superb

Breakfast choice was not very wide for someone who does not eat eggs but it was adequate.

The Staff were very friendly & accommodating - we enjoyed our stay so much we extended out stay by another night which the staff arranged for us with no problem. The tent was big & very comfortable with a balcony out the front overlooking the river. The bathroom had a large shower

The name of the hotel is quite misleading as we thought it's located in Samburu National Park, however it's actually in Buffalo Springs National Park, which means we need to pay $140 ($70 each park) to enter Samburu and which is about an hour drive from the hotel. Also the hotel is incredibly difficult to contact, the "headquarter" never respond your calls/ emails/ messages.

The staff were friendly and helpful at the hotel. Bed is comfortable and the facilities in the room are in good condition. The hotel is next to river bank and the elephants come to drink sometimes. We saw herds of elephants on the way back from game drive near the hotel.

Frequent power cuts citing generator supply of power. the tents were hot without ventilation and portable fan on request only. Without power the fan was useless. it was unbearably hot during 12 noon- 4 PM, no power. After 4 pm, every one goes out on the game drive. Hot water supply too is timed, if you miss that window you have to settle for a luke warm water. One important issue that disappointed me is - putting in me a tent far away from the river bank even though I put in a request at time of booking for a tent on the river bank. It was not honored. I was given a tent far away from the river bank, and irony is they did have unoccupied tents on the river bank.

Bread was not warm or taste fresh made. the other options were run of the mill. Freshly made omelette was the only good one.

generally quite dirty. ants were everywhere. pool was really murky. didn’t see anyone clean it the whole time we were there. double bed was tiny and really needed a mosquito net as we got bitten so much overnight.

location and staff were excellent.

Extremely unprofessional manager named Daniel. I am a regular customer of booking.com and have stayed in multiple locations over the past few years but have never come across such unprofessional behavior from a manager. He asked us to pay the base fare although booking.com gave me a 10% discount. He didn't move an inch to fix this issue and held us captive until we payed the full amount. We were delayed by 1 hour and missed our next appointment at an elephant orphanage due to his negligence and lackadaisical attitude. I would like booking.com's team to escalate this with Ashnil's senior staff so that other customers don't face such issues in the future. Also. I request booking.com to refund the discount amount.

I liked the scenery and the room. We were able to spot a lot of elephants, which was very nice.

Had requested in advance a game drive with the booking, when checking in we were told we couldn't do this and were told it was because of cattle moving on the Conservancy, which cannot have been true as other guests then went out on the game drive we had requested. So I suspect it was an admin failure, which would have been okay, but I would always prefer to be told the truth.

Service staff were wonderful, the food and drink provision is varied and well prepared. Nice secure camp on the river edge, and great for groups as it has lovely communal areas.
