On the banks of Kenya’s Ewaso Nyiro River, vervet monkeys natter and fuss, while the delicate kuk-kik calls of the gray-headed woodpecker floats like a feathered chorus. Deep in Samburu National Reserve, our game drives reveal a handsome cast of creatures seldom seen farther south: the reticulated giraffe with its filigreed coat, the rare Grevy’s zebra, and the Somali ostrich astrutt on fabulously fine cerulean legs. Amidst this menagerie, Larsens Camp is a gloriously unhurried return to a beloved refuge. Shaded by whispering doum palms, our indulgent suites and airy dining tent are the perfect perches to watch elephants wallow and wade. What next? A romantic bush dinner by candlelight? The soothing attentions of the camp masseuse? Or just more gazing, more being? For Africa, observed Elspeth Huxley, “is a place where one can look up at the sky and see a hundred miles.”
The camp comprises 12 tents ideal for couples, as well as two family suites and two deluxe tented suites. Timeless safari elegance sets the tone: billowing four-poster king-size beds, spacious en-suite bathrooms, large terraces furnished with hurricane lamps and richly patterned rugs, plus a writing desk and walk-in wardrobe for welcome practicality. (Indeed, all the practicals are neatly covered, by your ever-ready Micato Safari Director and your private butler.) The quiet thrill of wilderness living is top of mind at Larsens: the frisson of an outdoor shower, the serenity of the plunge pool, and star beds in some suites for nights beneath the glittering Milky Way. Dining blends indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly – at the riverside dining tent, in the company of giraffes and elephants; in the bush by flickering candlelight; or with luxurious in-tent privacy. Delicious Western, Kenyan and Indian flavours are served à la carte, enhanced, in part, by the camp’s organic garden. Dietary requests are met with pleasure.
A note for families & children
Family suites feature a generous living area and two separate en-suite bedrooms – one king, one twin – allowing for ample everything, including precious time together.
Mornings begin with a gentle “Jambo” – Swahili for hello – from your coffee-bearing butler – a civilised prelude to the excitement to come. From the comfort of game vehicle, perhaps first a luminous sunrise with a lion in victorious repose, or a sleek-lined, elusive leopard whose spots are so richly rewarding to, well, spot. Elephant, Cape buffalo, and the region’s signature species – the gerenuk, Grevy’s zebra, and reticulated giraffe – populate the area. Between drives, magical moments are available to loll in the heated kidney-shaped pool, explore the mysteries of the bush on a guided walk, or surrender to a massage under the honeyed drift of a warm African breeze in the indoor-outdoor spa. Evenings are celebrated in the time-honoured safari manner with sundowner cocktails as the sun dips to the horizon and all turns to gold. Tomorrow comes soon enough, just as it did for Ernest Hemingway: “I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up that I was not happy.”
