THIS
IS A SCHEDULED SAFARI BY ROAD
- Sheduled departures, with a minimum of 3 guests required.
- Departure every Monday from Nairobi.
A camping safari staying in small private mobile camps
is one of the best ways to experience Kenya's natural attractions.
The safari has been designed to include a variety of habitat
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 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.
A safari cook travels with the safari.
At each camp site we will 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.
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 is provided.
Food is of the same quality as in a luxury camp - produced
by an experienced safari cook. Camps are set up on exclusive
campsites. 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.

Best
season:
Kenya is a year round destination with excellent game
viewing. One of Kenya’s greatest attractions is the
annual wildebeest migration between Serengeti National Park
in Tanzania and Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya between
June and September. Peak season is from January to March when
the weather is hot and dry. This is the most comfortable time
for travelling. It is good for bird viewing on the Rift Valley
lakes and game viewing is also best at this time. April –
June and October – December are less popular times (this
means no crowds!) for visiting Kenya as these are the months
when Kenya receives its rain. You will still be able to get
around easily during the rainy season.
