Joy’s Camp Shaba
Joy’s Camp Shaba is an elegant oasis located in the spectacular arid landscapes of Samburu; Joy’s Camp is built on the site of Joy Adamson’s tented home in Shaba National Reserve. The deluxe camp overlooks a large natural spring where elephant and lion jostle for watering rights with herds of buffalo and the rare desert species of Beisa Oryx, reticulated giraffe and Grevy’s zebra.
Accommodation and Meals
Joy’s Camp boasts a chic Boran style, with bright and uniquely modern tents. Only 10 guest tents, each 100sq m sumptuous tent is uniquely decorated with handmade glass and the vibrant fabrics of the local nomadic tribes creating a chic, sophisticated and stylish camp. Each tent has its own private veranda, ideal for game viewing, as well as relaxing, reading and soaking up the truly wild environs offered by Shaba. ( 10 en-suite cream tents,7 doubles and 3 twin tents)
Safari Dining- Fresh homemade breads and pastas, traditional Italian risottos, and fresh organic salads await you at this chic boutique camp in Shaba. Joy’s Camp is happy to cater to special diets such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free.
During lunchtime, gaze over the camp’s neighbouring lush springs teaming with elephant, buffalo and other plains game. After nightfall, while enjoying dinner, you will look out over the floodlit springs, where lion and other predators take advantage of the early evening darkness to hunt. At Joy’s Camp guests dine individually (unlike some of our other tented camps, where dining is communal). Private romantic dinners can also be arranged on request. The camp has a swimming pool, well-being facilities, and a shop.
