Samburu Simba Lodge
Samburu Simba Lodge
Samburu
The lodge is situated in the Buffalo Springs National Reserve in northern Kenya, along the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River. It offers an authentic experience of the African wilderness, surrounded by rugged landscapes, dramatic hills, and a wealth of wildlife that includes elephant, lion, leopard, and the unique species known as the Samburu Special Five: the Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, and Beisa oryx.
The lodge’s architecture reflects the traditional Samburu style, featuring thatched roofs and earthy tones that blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Rooms are spacious with private verandas that offer breathtaking views of the river and the sweeping plains beyond. They are a comfortable retreat after a day of game viewing, and all have en-suite bathroom. The restaurant serves a variety of local and international cuisine, prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. You can dine al fresco on the terrace, enjoying panoramic views of the reserve.
In addition to game drives, the lodge offers a range of activities, including guided nature walks, bird watching, and cultural visits to nearby Samburu villages, giving you a deeper understanding of the local culture and the diverse ecosystems that make the Samburu region so unique and enchanting.

How our Tent Ratings work
These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.
It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world.
To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
High in both quality and luxury of experience, and property must have ‘wowed’ us on many levels.
This is our benchmark for excellent service and experience, location and /or activities.
Good relative value, excellent location and/or experience, and offering an ideal base for exploring the area.
Budget-focused stopover property, sometimes it’s the ideal location on a driving itinerary.
Don’t be put off, these stays are comfortable and a perfect pit stop on a journey where the choices may be limited.
