As meals are served here a Samburu flute player entertains you with his distinctive tunes. The famous Samburu Lodge Crocodile Bar is on the level of the river bank to allow you to look crocodiles in the eye as you sip your sundowners. Towards sunset each day, bait is put out to attract crocodiles to within feet of watchers, but in conditions of perfect safety.
