Joys Camp

Location

Situated in Shaba National Reserve, which is 314kms from Nairobi, adjoining Samburu and Buffalo Springs Reserves.

Accommodation and facilities

The 10 chic canvas bedrooms are set on raised platforms with breathtaking views of the surrounding hills. The camp overlooks a large natural spring where elephant and lion jostle for watering rights with herds of buffalo and the rare desert species of Beisa Oryx, Reticulated Giraffe and Grevy’s Zebra.

Each sumptuous 100 sq mtr. tent is uniquely decorated with Boran/Somali cloth design, handmade glass and the vibrant fabrics of the local nomadic tribes creating a chic, sophisticated and stylish camp.

The cuisine at Joy’s Camp is traditional Northern Italian food all prepared from the Cheli family cook book.
