Located on the banks of a dry river with surrounding views of the majestic Matthews Mountains, Kalepo Camp is a private use, family friendly, luxury tented camp which offers exclusive use of 460,000 acres straddling both sides of the Matthews Mountains. It is nestled in the heart of Samburuland, Northern Kenya, where people and wildlife co-exist as they have done for centuries.
From authentic kijijis (Samburu villages) to herds of elephant, singing wells to soaring mountains, Kalepo Camp is a uniquely wild destination from which to explore the diversity of the impressive “Big North.”
Kalepo Camp has its own airstrip about 20 minutes drive away. There are no scheduled flights to the airstrip so guests will take a private charter.

ACCOMMODATION
Set in a shady grove of acacias with the majestic Matthews Mountains as a backdrop, Kalepo Camp has five beautifully appointed tents, plus 2 very comfortable guide tents.
The camp layout consists of 3 double or twin en-suite tents and a family unit which consists of adjacent en-suite tents that share a terrace. Extra single beds can fit in all the tents. There are also two spare tents that can be used for private guides, chaperones, nannies or pilots.
GETTING THERE
Kalepo Camp is located in a very remote part of Northern Kenya. As a result there are no scheduled flights into the airstrip.
They have their own private airstrip which can land planes as large as a King Air or PC 12. All Kenya charter companies know and use the airstrip.
For those guests preferring to fly in with a helicopter, they can land directly in front of the camp.
The drive from the airstrip to camp takes 20 minutes
