Samburu National Park Kenya

We spent two nights at the Larsen's permanent tented camp at Samburu National Park in Kenya. This is a small but beautiful park with a very high standard of service at Larsen's. It was very dry and the poor elephants had really suffered due to the water shortage. However we have heard that it started to rain heavily shortly after our stay at the beginning of October.
