Overview
About Tambarare Camp, an A&K Sanctuary
Tambarare Camp sits among fever trees in Ol Pejeta Conservancy, with ten tented suites and a two-bedroom Private Villa overlooking the surrounding plains. Private verandas, super king-size beds and colourful interiors give the tents a comfortable base between game drives. Meals, drinks, laundry and airstrip transfers are included, along with game drives and an encounter with the last two northern white rhinos. Families are welcome with children of all ages, and the villa adds its own lounge, dining space and deck. Back at camp, the boma and open-sided dining area keep the landscape in view.
“A strong choice for a family safari centred on rhinos, with ten tented suites, a private two-bedroom villa and wildlife viewing that continues back at camp.”
