Tented Camps · Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya
Tambarare Camp, an A&K Sanctuary
Overview
Tambarare Camp is nestled amongst fever trees in the shadow of Mount Kenya and delivers the perfect balance of adventure and serenity.
The camp looks out across the award-winning Ol Pejeta Conservancy, which consists of 90,000 acres of unspoilt African landscape, where the Big Five roam, including the last two northern white rhinos on earth.
Tambarare Camp features 10 luxurious, large, and airy tented suites with private verandas. These individually-decorated tents have a boutique-meets-bush style, with teak floors, gently billowing white curtains, and unique touches of Masai-inspired art. Guests can enjoy floor-to-ceiling cinematic views overlooking the grassy plains from their super king beds, while the en-suite boasts a walk-in shower, a double basin, and sumptuous towels.
Tambarare Camp Private Villa comprises two bedrooms, indoor and outdoor lounge and dining area, bar, private deck and boma.
After adventurous days tracking lions, riding horses with rhinos, or spotting giraffes, elephants, gazelle, and zebra in the wildlife retreat, guests can retire to the secluded camp for sundowners, relaxation, and attentive five-star service. Inside the main tent, inviting sofas and chairs encourage one to linger, while at the camp’s restaurant, chefs impress by preparing delicious dishes, salads, freshly baked breads, and any special requirements, from vegetarian meals to anniversary dinners. There’s also a refined bar tent with a deck and loungers overlooking the boma.
