Springing up from a rocky ridge overlooking the lush Ewaso Narok River Valley and Laikipia Plateau, Siruai was built to frame the view and the wildlife that inhabits it. Its name alone alludes to this, translating to mean 'eland' in the Maa language and gazing out from your tent, you'll likely see these shy, regal animals around camp. Activities-wise, there is plenty of choice when it comes to exploring the surrounds, whether it's hiking up escarpments, canoeing down crystal-clear rivers, or spotting elephant, reticulated giraffe and Grevy's zebra on a game drive. Whichever it is, there'll be something worth toasting when you arrive back at camp.

On the hillside below the mess area, the canvas tents are set up according to the number of guests staying (with a maximum of 16 people). Roll-up sides reveal stunning views of Laikipia, while a barrier of netting keeps unwanted visitors out. A comfortable bed dominates the space, and there's plenty of open shelving and a vanity table for unpacking. Each tent has a flushing loo and hot bucket shower, which you'll be hankering for after a day of exploring.
The number of tents Siruai sets up completely depends on the number of people staying. If it's just your group, you'll have the place to yourselves.
For a memorable evening, request sundowners or dinner to be served in a secluded clearing in the bush.
The camp offers fly-camping atop a rock kopje in the valley, but it has to be pre-booked, so think ahead.
