Deep in the belly of the Great Rift Valley, where soaring peaks clash with great expanses of desert barely touched by man, Koros is the picture of rugged adventure. Emerge from your tent to gaze over acres of scrub and forested outcrops, and contemplate your next outing to the Jade Sea (Lake Turkana) where thrashing crocodiles thrill, and you may well tread the same ground as early man. Although Koros is most definitely in-tune with its surroundings, the camp hasn't lost its homely touches: tuck into pizza on blankets laid under the stars whilst listening to the stories of the Samburu, before falling soundly asleep in your downy bed.

There are only five tents at Koros, all with large, wrought-iron beds, canvas wardrobes, and sitting areas for appreciating the views. Three tents have outdoor showers and flush toilets with slated walls, while the other two are slightly smaller with shared loos - these are ideal for families or larger groups. Koros Camp is all about getting your safari back to basics, and we definitely aren't complaining.

Many of the Koros team are from the Samburu tribe, so don't miss out on their epic stories - there are many!
