Elephant Bedroom Camp

Summer is upon us and if you have yet to plan an overseas trip, consider exploring the African wilderness- but with hotel-quality accommodations.
Elephant Bedroom camp is located in Kenya, 300 kilometers from Nairobi. The unique accommodations allow visitors to relax in a luxurious environment while experiencing the exhilarating wilderness of the African Serengeti first hand.

Twelve furnished tents, equipped with hot and cold running water, electricity and numerous amenities, rest quietly amongst the roaming elephants, leopards, cheetahs, crocodiles, lions and hundreds of birds that are native to the region. With interiors designed to enhance the African atmosphere, the getaway provides the perfect combination of nature and luxury.

Nanyukinow.com provides some information on Elephant Bedroom camp. It explains:


“The tents at Elephants Bedroom camp in Samburu are large and breezy, and the service is terrific. The small size of the perfectly set camp with only 12 tents really affords the guest an opportunity to get to know the staff as well as other travelers. The tents are amazingly spacious and beautifully decorated, therefore small and intimate.

The camp offers a menu which usually comprises beef, chicken, or seafood as well as vegetarian dishes. Food is exquisite- breakfast is served as a buffet, lunch as a three-course meal with different choices and dinner four courses, also with different choices. Guests with any special or extra wishes or requirements are free to ask.”

 

Three Poachers Caught in Kenya

A special team of rangers from the Kenya Wildlife Service recently recovered $30,830 worth of elephant tusks and rhino horns. Three people were arrested, and six rounds of ammunition, two pairs of night vision binoculars, two jungle rangers uniforms and a rifle scope were recovered as well. Senior Warden Aggrey Maumo, who was involved in the operation, said that nine rhinos have been killed in the region over the past year. “At least twenty rhinos were killed across the country since early last year. Northern Kenya reported the highest incidents because poachers killed nine rhinos and a huge number of elephant herds over the past year but we had a breakthrough yesterday and managed to recover this consignment,” he said.

The government has been reinforcing security officers and rangers in the Mountain Marsabit region, in efforts to protect Kenya’s wildlife. The animals have suffered greatly from poachers, drought and floods over the past few years.
