Soroi Samburu Lodge

I had been to Samburu National Reserve 4 years ago and was excited to come back. This lodge made our visit very special. There were 10 of us on a safari and we stayed here for 3 nights. We were greeted with beautiful singing and staff in traditional costumes including the amazing beadwork that is characteristic of the Samburu people. Our rooms were very spacious and comfortable. The public areas of the lodge were gorgeous! And the food! Everyone here was so friendly and it was a great place to come back to after our game drives. What I particularly appreciated was the opportunity to get to know a little bit about Samburu culture. There was a beading class in which 2 incredibly talented people, taught us how to bead, but more importantly, what the color of the beads meant. We visited several places in Kenya, but Samburu remains my favorite, and this lodge helped to make it so!

Had a wonderful stay for 3 nights during our family vacation in Kenya. Kids ages 11 & 13 had their own room with twin beds. Rooms were so comfortable and gorgeous. Located right on the river so you can get animal sighting right from your room. Pool was relaxing and so clean. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We went on morning and evening game rides with local guides. Saw elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, leopards, a cheetah, and so many more! We also visited a local village and school. Very responsible use of water and resources at this lodge. Food was amazing! The chef made us a special African meal our last night that was unforgettable.

For our family safari in Samburu, we chose the newly opened Soroi Samburu Lodge, and we were not disappointed. We booked two adjacent triple rooms located in one of the newly constructed buildings right by the riverbank. Both rooms were tastefully and almost luxuriously furnished. From our private terrace, we had a great view of the river and could watch elephants, greater kudus, and other wildlife. The large pool offered a welcome diversion for the children during the heat of midday. During our week-long stay, we particularly enjoyed the varied and delicious food; there was always something suitable for the children, or dishes were prepared specially upon request. We usually took our breakfast—which we could assemble ourselves—out into the bush with us. Both lunch and dinner were not only visually impressive but also consistently delicious.

We had the most wonderful 3 nights sisters holiday at Soroi Samburu. The lodge is located on a beautiful spot along the Ewaso Nyiro river, is off grid and focuses on sustainability. The rooms are large, clean and spacious with all the amenities. There are scenic spots all around the lodge where you could chill with a nice large pool to cool off. It's a peaceful and quite place with lots of trees and bird sounds. I had requested to see the hide at their sister company Larsen's and we were welcomed with such warmth and friendliness. They also packed a wonderful picnic lunch on our day trip to nearby Reteti Elephant Sanctuary. On our last day my aunt's group arrived to the most wonderful 70th Birthday surprise with wonderful song and dance by the lodge staff and cake on their welcome. Thank-you!
