Great Hospitality, lots of wildlife and clean wonderful rooms. The dinning staff have lots of charisma and will charm you. The monkeys running over the tent tops and the sound of the wild animals while sleeping are amazing and make you feel closer to mother nature. This is our favorite location of 11 places lodges/camps in Kenya & Tanzania where... more

I absolutely LOVED my stay at Larsen's Tented Camp - I stayed there for 2 nights in September 2007 and really wish I could have stayed longer. The grounds are beautiful set on the banks of the river with a lovely deck where you can eat lunch outdoors. The entire camp is very well maintained - including a beautiful swimming... more

Larsens Tented Camp – WOW! It’s obviously been redone and it’s amazing. Very modern and service oriented. It’s in a lovely location, right on the river. They have a very nice pool area, with a hot tub even, though it gets so hot there, not sure you’d want to use it! Accomodations: Spacious tents, decorated very nicely and with an... more

We (husband and self) took a three-night fly-in safari to Samburu, staying at Larsens, in April 2007. It was by then low season, just after the Easter rush. There were no more than 5/6 other guests staying at any one time, which added to our enjoyment, and we even had the place to ourselves one afternoon. The staff are great,... more

My wife and I had visited Samburu on 4 previous trips, staying at various tented camps - some bad and some quite good. We love Samburu for its arid terrain which is quite different from the Masai Mara. A Kenyan travel agent mentioned to us that Larsens had completely refurbished their camp in the last couple of years and it... more

I travelled with a group of travel agents to Samburu, and we stayed at Larsens tented camp. Of all the places we visited - this was the highlight. The tents were amazing....I felt like I was in a 1930's movie, as I had beautiful old furniture, leather trunks, and old lights that did run on electricity...at the back of the... more
