Umani Springs Camp

Umani Springs Camp is nestled in the Kibwezi Forest, bordering the east of the Chyulu Hills National Park and overlooking waterholes fed by the Umani Springs. The camp is exclusive yet home-from-home – boasting three tranquil bedroom areas, a beautiful pool and sunbathing oasis, and a relaxing living room twinned with a stylish ‘bar-come-dining’ area – offering the ultimate escape in indoor and outdoor living. The property, built in a coastal style, sleeps ten people, offering two sleek queen-size rooms and three spacious twin rooms. Each bedroom is beautifully designed with high thatched ceilings, large netted windows, alfresco showers and a sweeping veranda overlooking the encircling forest. The enticing spring-fed swimming pool is surrounded by beautiful gardens, which offer plenty of spots to sit-back, relax and enjoy the ambience of the forest. As a semi self-catering property, Umani Springs operates a small team of staff including an excellent cook who will prepare delicious meals with the supplies and ingredients brought by the guests.

The camp is located a 15 minute walk away from the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT) centre of reintroduction, which reintroduces orphaned young elephants to the life in the wild.

All revenues generated from the Umani Springs Camp offset the concession fees, payable by the DSWT to the Kenya Forest Service, and the costs associated with the sustainable protection and preservation of this uniquely beautiful yet essentially fragile ecosystem.
