The renowned Larsen's Camp
is a small luxurious tented camp, located 320 kms north of Nairobi
on the border of the old Northern Frontier Province, on the banks
of the Uaso Nyiro River. The upmarket camp is of high style
with casual colonial elegance a surprising degree of comfort. There
are birds and vervet monkeys everywhere and dik diks wander freely
around the camp. An animal viewing platform in the trees lets you
see wildlife on the opposite bank of the river.
The river is the perfect stage for an endless
pageant of wildlife - elephant rolling and trumpeting in
the shallows, baboons and vervet monkeys swinging through the canopy
of trees, timid impala nervously drinking, and there is abundant
birdlife!
There are 20 spacious airy tents,
all raised on wooden platforms, nestled between acacia trees and
doum palms. The tents each have en suite bathrooms and all
face the river; you can watch animals from your private
verandah.
The dining tent is open
from three sides and faces the river. A first class dinner is elegantly
served by candlelight on tables set with silver and china.
Although a delicious breakfast and barbecue are
cooked in front of you, behind the scenes the chefs are working
hard preparing the mouth-watering dishes for which Larsens in renowned.
