Camel Safaris

 

This safari is highly recommended for those who want an unusual and authentic safari experience. This is primarily a walking safari but riding camels are available, unless the terrain is difficult. You do not necessarily need to be extremely fit but flexibility and resilience is required. On our camel safaris, you travel sedately in remote territory often using sandy highways.
 

The camel drivers are mostly from the Samburu tribe and are a constant source of inspiration. The camels are strong and friendly, each with its own distinctive character. Throughout this safari you will meet many indigenous people including the Samburu, Rendille and Turkana.
 

Most of the travelling is done in the early morning when it is still cool and you are most likely to see wildlife. The camels accompanying you carry your personal daypacks and refreshments. Meanwhile the camp is packed and loaded onto the camels to soon catch up with you as you continue walking with the whole camel train, normally finding a place to camp after mid-day.


When the heat of the day subsides, the sleeping arrangements are made, consisting of comfortable mosquito proof beds in tents or under the stars. After a hot shower, you sit around the fire waiting for your candle lit dinner to be served.
