Highlights of the Camel Safari

The safari is great for  families! The kids can ride on the camels when their feet get tired!  Also, the knowledge of the guides is educational and informative as well as interesting.  You’ll come away with a far greater knowledge of Kenya, its people and its wildlife.

The trek takes place in Laikipia district.  On the mobile safari the exact location depends on the weather & movements of the wildlife.  In addition other fun activities are on offer, from rock climbing and swimming in rock pools to game drives and bush picnics.  A natural adventure paradise for kids!  All in one of Kenya’s best wildlife-viewing habitats, surrounded by some of the most stunning landscapes in Africa.

Choose to be based in homely and traditional Tumaren Safari Camp, or else go out on a fully mobile fly-camping safari with dome tents.  Whichever option you choose, nights are spent out under the stars by the camp fire listening to the sounds of the African Bush!

The fly-camping mobile safari is so easy!  Your back up team sets up camp every night and takes care of  all packing-up, cleaning and food preparations too. Spacious mountain tents can sleep 2 adults or 3 children on a king-size mattress. Tents are insect and reptile proof,  complete with a bedside table, mirror, towels, flash lights and solar light, even carpets! The camp has toilets and hot showers and even a laundry service!

What is the best time of year to go?

• January & February,  June – October.  Dry season and the best months to give this experience a try.
• April, May and November, December.  The rainy season isn’t ideal for fly camping.  Alternatively, opt for Tumaren Camp if you don’t mind getting a bit wet on occasion.

With static or mobile camping options you can make the most of this outdoor wonderland.
