Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Private Vehicle
If you have access to a private vehicle, start your journey at Samburu National Reserve. Head east towards the Ewaso Nyiro River. Keep following the river for approximately 8 kilometers. Look for signs leading to Elephant Watch Camp. The camp is located directly along the river and is well-marked. Ensure your vehicle can handle rough terrain, as some roads may be unpaved.
Public Transport
To reach Elephant Watch Camp via public transport, you can take a matatu (shared taxi) from Maralal to Samburu National Reserve. Once at the reserve, you will need to arrange for a local taxi or a lodge transfer service to take you to the camp. This journey may take around 1-2 hours depending on the conditions. Confirm the cost with the driver beforehand to avoid surprises, typically around 3,000 KES for the transfer.
Guided Tour
Consider booking a guided tour that includes transportation to Elephant Watch Camp. Many tour operators in the Samburu region offer packages that include pick-up from your accommodation and a direct transfer to the camp. This is often the easiest way to ensure a smooth trip, as the guides are familiar with the area and can provide insights along the way. Costs for these tours vary, so check with multiple providers for the best deal.
