Overview

Soroi Samburu Lodge brings a quietly confident character to the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River. Well-appointed rooms with private verandas face the riverine woodland, where vervet monkeys and baboons are permanent residents and elephant crossings provide an almost nightly spectacle. The lodge suits travellers who value attentive, personal service without the formality of a large resort — a place where the staff know returning guests by name and the pace reflects the unhurried rhythm of the Samburu bush.

Set within Samburu National Reserve, Soroi gives guests full access to the northern Kenya wildlife experience at its finest. The Samburu Special Five — Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk and Beisa oryx — share the landscape with healthy lion, leopard and cheetah populations that make predator sightings regular rather than rare. The Ewaso Nyiro River drives the dry-season wildlife spectacle from July through October, while January to March delivers softer light, fresher vegetation and active riverine birdlife. Rates vary by season; low-season pricing will be shared here soon — Soroi offers genuine value in every travel window.

Yes. Samburu, Buffalo Springs, and Shaba form a rich ecosystem and many lodges and camps offer drives across connected areas, increasing variety of landscapes and wildlife sightings during your stay.

Is this safari suitable for children and families?

Many lodges welcome families, though age limits may apply to certain activities and room configurations. Game drives can be long for very young children, so we recommend discussing ages, seating, and family room needs when booking Soroi Samburu Lodge.
