We now offer our discerning clientele the opportunity to participate in a Kenya camping safari bar none. The tour takes us through a myriad of Kenya’s National Parks and conservancies, allowing us to get up close and personal with the country’s indigenous fauna and flora. The mobility and unobtrusive nature our portable accommodation makes camping safaris one of the best ways to experience Kenya's natural attractions.Our camping safaris in Kenya have been designed to include a wide variety of habitats in order to expose our visitors to the widest range of wildlife possible. Our safari camps are pitched in private conservancies wherever possible to allow for night walking plus driving and care has also been taken to remain close to the main attractions, namely Amboseli and Nakuru National Parks and the Mara. The Selenkay Conservation Area we will be visiting is situated a hundred miles from Nairobi (a three hour drive down the Mombasa road).

An evening game drive allows us to explore the Conservation Area before settling in for our evening meal.
