Its tranquil and natural location embrace you the minute you enter Larsens with the river being the perfect stage for an endless pageant of wildlife - elephants rolling and trumpeting in the shallows, timid impala nervously drinking, baboons and vervet monkeys swinging through the canopy of trees. The only man made noise is that of the young Samburu flutist as he slowly makes his way along the river front. He unobtrusively doubles as a palm nut thrower when the monkeys become too bold.
Larsens Camp is located in Kenya Samburu National Reserve and it
is named after Erik Ole Larsen, a legendary Dane credited with defining the luxury safari under canvas.
The camp is bordered by the Uaso Nyiro River on one side; there is nothing
to see but pristine nature on the other three.
