Joy’s Camp

Joy’s Camp is an elegant oasis located on the site of Joy Adamson’s tented home in Shaba National Reserve. The 10 chic canvas bedrooms are set on raised platforms with breathtaking views of the surrounding hills.

Joy’s Camp is the perfect choice for discerning guests interested in a glimpse of Kenyan history, as well as those looking for an authentic wildlife experience combined with the comfort of a luxury tented camp. The camp overlooks a large natural spring where elephant and lion jostle for watering rights.

Each sumptuous 100sqm tent at Joy’s Camp is uniquely decorated with Boran/Somali cloth design, handmade glass and the vibrant fabrics of the local tribes creating a chic African feel. Each tent has its own private deck, ideal for relaxing.
