Opening beneath the leaves of Kenya's quintessential fever trees in June 2022, Tambarare Camp, an A&K Sanctuary is a bright and eye-catching new camp. Under the impressive gaze of Mount Kenya, the camp sits in Ol Pejeta Conservancy, an untamed realm where you'll follow in the footprints of the Big Five and lay beneath the star-spangled African sky. Laikipia is known for its collection of private camps with big hearts for conservation and Sanctuary Tambarare fits right in. Each day brings the chance to get to know the land and creatures that call it home, your expert guide sharing the secrets of their plains with you.

The central tent is a chic and good-looking communal space with a cushy lounge area. Mismatched sofas in purple and green are well-positioned for enjoying a new read from the library. The softly-lit dining area is decorated in light wood and wicker lamp shades and fresh and tasty dishes are served here on the daily. Grab something refreshing at the bar tent and sit out on a lounger as the sun sets over a dreamy landscape. After a day of wild adventures, head down to the boma to swap stories and hear local legends from your guide.
Tambarare Camp has just 10 luxury tents to escape behind after a day on safari. The classic canvas style has received an upgrade including massive beds clouded in sheer drapes, teak floors and Maasai-inspired artwork in the camp's signature blue. The en-suite bathrooms include a walk-in shower, double basins and spacious wardrobe. A vanity and patterned rugs add a homely touch to the sitting area and floor-to-ceiling glass doors open onto a veranda where a spectacular view greets you each morning.
Get ready to check off items from your safari wish list on this trip beginning with epic game drives - cameras at the ready to capture an elephant strolling by, a hippo emerging from the water or wild dog on the prowl. After night falls, watch as the second cast of creatures comes alive - lion and leopard stalking amongst the trees and bat-eared fox scampering through the undergrowth. Take a walk on the wild side with guided safari on foot or ride horseback in the endangered species enclosure.
Conservation has free reign at Ol Pejeta and you'll have the chance to see the last two northern white rhinos in the world.

There's no pool at the Sanctuary but it keeps the footprint light so we won't complain.
