Joy's Camp
My Safari
The Shaba Reserve is essentially the up-market corner of the larger Samburu Reserve area. Joy's Camp is the only one here that conducts game drives in Shaba, and hence guests have the entire reserve to themselves.
The camp itself is located on the site of Joy Adamson's tented home here, and was home to Penny the leopard who was the heroine of her last book, and it houses a small museum of Joy Adamson memorabilia.
Each of its chic canvas bedrooms has breathtaking views of the surrounding hiills, and the camp overlooks a large natural spring where a wide variety of game jostles for drinking rights. Lion and cheetah hunts have even been witnessed from within the camp itself.
Guided bush walks, and bush breakfasts, are a particular feature of life here, together with cultural visits to a local Boran village (when available - they are a nomadic tribes people) - and of course marvellous game drives.
Oh yes - and the food is fantastic!
We think any opportunity to step outside the cosseted realm of the safari goer and into the real Africa should be taken if at all possible.

A safari and beach combination offers the perfect solution for adventurous newlyweds looking for something a bit different.
We can offer serious enthusiasts dedicated photographic tours, but a safari is an ideal place to brush up on your skills whether you are using a dSLR or compact.
The only way to get truly acquainted with the African bush is to see it on foot. Walking safaris offer a unique insight into an amazing habitat.
