Mobile Camping Safaris

A camping safari staying in small private mobile camps is one of the best ways to experience Kenya's natural attractions. The camping safari has been designed to include a variety of habitats so that the widest diversity of wildlife can be seen. The camps are sited in private conservancies so that walking and night drives may be taken but are also conveniently located for easy access to Amboseli and Nakuru national parks and the Masai Mara.

• Transport is by four-wheel-drive Toyota Landcruiser with roof hatches. Your driver-guide is a wildlife and nature expert and member of the Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association.
• Camping equipment is carried in a trailer behind the vehicle. When in camp the trailer is removed and game drives are done in the vehicle.
• Tents are heavy-duty canvas dome tents for 2 persons. Clients bring their own sleeping bag and a towel, but all other camp furniture and equipment, including a high density sleeping mattress, is provided.
• Safari camps are set up on our own exclusive camp sites.
• At each safari camp site we have staff who do the work like washing up, heating water for showers, doing the cooking and serving the food, but clients also help put up and take down their tents.
• Our experienced safari cook travels with the safari. Food is of the same quality as in a luxury safari camp and is included in the price, (not bought through a 'kitty' like some other camping safaris).
• Drinks other than mineral water are not included, but a stop is made en route to each camp to enable you to buy wine, beer or soft drinks as required.
