Yes. Larsens operates as an unfenced camp for an authentic bush experience. Samburu guards escort guests between tents and the main areas during the night.

Soroi Larsens Camp is a boutique luxury retreat situated within the Samburu Game Reserve in northern Kenya, set along the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River. The riverside location is central to the camp’s atmosphere, with the river drawing wildlife to the water’s edge throughout the day and providing a constant, unhurried backdrop to the stay. For honeymooners wanting a northern Kenya experience that feels genuinely remote and personal, Samburu’s landscape and unique wildlife community make it one of the country’s most rewarding destinations.

The camp offers four accommodation categories. The twelve standard rooms are furnished with authentic pioneer-era decor, king-size beds, en-suite bathrooms, and private terraces overlooking the Ewaso Nyiro River. The exclusive suites offer greater seclusion and privacy, with king-size beds, en-suite bathrooms, and river-facing terraces suited well to couples seeking a quieter, more intimate setting. The two deluxe suites are the most distinctive option for honeymooners, featuring a star bed for sleeping under the open sky, an outdoor shower, a dedicated private butler, and private dining arrangements on request. The two family suites each have two separate en-suite bedrooms with king-size beds, a shared lounge, and a private terrace with river views.

Twice-daily game drives in custom-built 4×4 vehicles with accredited guides cover the Samburu Game Reserve with a focus on the Samburu Special Five, which are Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, and Beisa oryx, alongside elephant, lion, leopard, and cheetah. Guided bush walks with the walking team and armed rangers cover wildlife tracking, flora identification, and the ecology of the Samburu ecosystem at a pace that drives cannot replicate. A dedicated photographic hide provides a stationary vantage point for undisturbed wildlife observation and close-range photography. Bird walks introduce guests to Samburu’s diverse avian population with guidance from knowledgeable naturalists. Cultural visits to local Samburu villages connect guests with community traditions and daily life. The Reteti Elephant Sanctuary excursion offers a close encounter with orphaned elephants being rehabilitated for release, which is one of the most memorable experiences available anywhere in northern Kenya. Sundowners are set up privately on the sundowner deck or out in the bush with cocktails and canapés as the light fades. Campfire conversations around the river in the evenings, guided stargazing sessions identifying constellations in Samburu’s unpolluted night sky, and spa treatments in-room or at the spa round out a programme that keeps honeymooners fully engaged without pressure.

The kitchen produces a menu drawing on local and international cuisine, with candlelit dinners available either in a secluded spot within the camp or in a bush setting surrounded by the sounds of the reserve. The dining experience is designed to be flexible and personal rather than fixed and communal, which suits honeymooning couples well. The wine selection is carefully chosen to complement the menu, and private dining arrangements can be made for couples in the deluxe suites on request.

Yes, and the camp’s intimate scale and suite options make it a natural fit for couples. Honeymooners can expect romantic candlelit dinners, couples’ spa treatments, and private game drives tailored to their pace. The deluxe suites with star beds and private butlers offer the most immersive romantic experience within the camp, allowing couples to sleep under the Samburu sky with full service and privacy. The camp’s staff attend to special requests and personal touches throughout the stay, and Africa Bed of Roses Safaris coordinates all honeymoon-specific arrangements with the Larsens team before arrival to ensure everything is in place from the first evening.
