Joy's Camp, Kenya


Joy's Camp is a tribute to Joy Adamson, built in an elegant oasis in the arid lands of Samburu National Reserve on the site of her tented home. The 10 chic canvas bedrooms are raised off the ground with breathtaking views of the surrounding hills. The camp overlooks a large natural spring where elephant, leopard and lion jostle for watering rights with herds of buffalo and the rare desert species of Beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe and Grevy's zebra. Many bird species can also be spotted making it a great camp for budding ornithologists. Each tent has a fresh style and has its own private veranda, ideal for private game viewing as well as relaxing, reading and soaking up the truly wild landscape offered by Shaba Natrional Reserve.
