Only 10 guest tents, each 100sq m sumptuous tent is uniquely decorated with handmade glass and the vibrant fabrics of the local nomadic tribes creating a chic, sophisticated and stylish camp. Each tent has its own private veranda, ideal for game viewing, as well as relaxing, reading and soaking up the truly wild environs offered by Shaba.

Shaba National Reserve
Shaba National Reserve is considered as a quaint reserve in harsh, dry terrain (the very same terrain as Samburu and Buffalo Springs ecosystems). Shaba is practically cut off to all but those who have access to 4 wheel drive vehicles or aircrafts resulting in minimal traffic. It is certainly possible to find a variety of wild game in this region such as elephants, lions, and giraffes.
