This is such an amazing location, and the staff are amazing! You will absolutely see animals! We would wake up to elephants and reticulated giraffes crossing right in front of our site. Monkeys will hang out on your patio and baboons are constantly nearby. We made the mistake of not locking the zipper (absolutely on us! they tell you to do so multiple times) and had some monkeys enter and wreck havoc! However, staff dealt with it quickly and were super nice about it! Don't just close the zipper- the monkeys know how to open it and it needs to be locked down. It's got a lush and green look to it too so it's a small reprieve from the hot Samburu summer. Something that wasn't made clear was that they do tend to have times when they turn off the power to so prepare yourself. The food is nice and was always different. We had a lovely time and will recommend it to anyone.

Nice camp in need of a couple improvements

In Buffalo Springs National park, the resort is situated right on the river. The staff are very accommodating and helpful. The rooms are really nice as i was lucky enough to get a river view, sometimes elephants come to the river to drink. The pool area is really nice. Every meal is a buffet with lots of selection, however the quality of the meals is average. A second problem is for the first couple hours at night all these little bugs fall on your bed. Only lasts for a couple hours but really annoying when you're trying to fall asleep. Finally while the game drive driver was very knowledgeable and nice, he wasn't that good at spotting animals and we were always the first people back from the have drives.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We did not enjoy our stay at Ashnil Samburu at all, which is quite sad because we stayed at another Ashnil camp shortly after our Samburu experience and it was a night and day experience! The staff were not friendly or helpful at all. We had problems with our room (specifically the toilets) and were told to "push it down with the toilet brush". The food was okay (it was basic and average). We had a group of 10 in our party and we all agree we would not stay there again on our next trip to Kenya.

干净整洁，舒适

帐篷比较大，干净。就是每天三次断电，断电时帐篷里会比较热。不过据说这个问题会解决。遇到大象到园外觅食，捡了好多果子喂它，很有趣。房间内没有Wi-Fi信号
