Where to go for Camping Safaris in Kenya – Top Destinations for Kenya Camping Safaris

1. Lake Naivasha

This region is known for its outstanding agriculture and fertile soils, and it’s surrounded by plenty of sources of water supply. Lake Naivasha is one of the leading birding destinations in the world, but it’s also home to other wildlife such as buffalos, giraffes, Colobus monkeys, hippos, zebras, and more. Camping Safaris in this area is possible all year round.

2. Amboseli National Park

This park is home to a variety of wildlife, especially elephants. You can also spot other wild animals such as rhinos, hippos, lions, buffalos, and more. The ecosystem is mainly composed of savanna and a few swampy areas, and you can have a great chance to view them from an observation hill. You can also have a clear view of the amazing Mountain Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.

3. Masai Mara National Reserve

This reserve is famously known as one of the greatest and most popular wildlife habitats in Africa. You can spot all the cats such as the lion, leopard, and cheetah, and witness the Great Migration, where over 1.5 million wildebeest, thousands of zebras and hundreds of thousands of gazelles migrate from Tanzania’s Serengeti. It’s an incredible place to experience the African wilderness.

4. Lake Nakuru

This lake is known for habiting the pink flamingos, making it a perfect destination for birding activities. You can watch the large numbers of flamingos gather together to feed on the lake’s large algae. The pink flamingos in Lake Nakuru are one of the rare scenic beauties, where they move spectacularly back and forth as they feed, and occasionally take a flight, creating a rosy drama that African legends are made of.

When to Visit Kenya for Kenya Camping Safaris?

Kenya camping safaris are available all year round, and they can be planned with camping gear or on self-drive safaris. However, the months of June through October mark the start of the long dry season, which is regarded as the best time to go to Kenya for safaris in general.

Other Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a camping safari cost in Kenya?

The cost of camping safari packages varies depending on several factors, making it difficult to put an exact fixed price on it. You can book a camping safari for as low as US$100 per person per day, although there are different levels of camping, and you get what you pay for. We will provide you with good-sized tents, comfortable mattresses, and overall quality gear. It is important to note that some tours require you to participate in camping chores, while others have staff who take care of everything, including cooking meals depending on what you book.

Group camping tours in Kenya are usually cheaper than private tours, especially for single travelers. Additionally, the cost may vary depending on the season you want to travel in. Contact us for more details on prices.

Can I do a safari trip in Kenya where I only camp some of the nights?

It is very possible to do a mixed safari in Kenya. We can customize your tour, allowing you to spend some nights camping and others in the comfort of a guesthouse, lodge, or hotel. Actually, most of our camping safaris start with a night in a hotel to let you rest after your international flight and prepare for an early departure the next day. The last night of a camping safari is also often spent in a hotel for similar reasons.

Other Kenya camping safaris offer a few more nights in alternative accommodation. You can use a budget hotel for a one-night stop and opt for camping when staying a couple of nights inside one of the parks or reserves. This offers a nice compromise if you would like to experience some camping in the bush but not throughout the trip.

Is a self-drive camping safari in Kenya recommended?

For those who love to travel independently, you can consider a self-drive camping safari in Kenya. To do this, book with an outfitter specializing in self-drive safaris. They will set you up with a sturdy 4×4 and camping equipment. You’ll have the choice between a ground tent and a roof-top tent. Ensure you check what is and isn’t included with the gear.

Although they guarantee 24/7 roadside assistance, you should be competent enough to change a tire. This is only recommended for those with some driving experience.

Is camping in Kenya safe?

 There is no reason to hesitate to visit Kenya since camping safaris in Kenya are very safe. Crime is really rare in Kenya’s established parks and reserves. And besides all, your guide will ensure your safety at all times.

Most of the campsites are usually unfenced, and animals can walk through freely. Human presence mostly keeps wildlife out during the day. But at night, after everybody has gone to bed, predators and other wildlife might well pass through camp. It is safe to stay in a tent while wild animals are around, so long as you adhere to a few sensible precautions, you will entirely have a safe safari in Kenya. You will be briefed on how to behave accordingly.

The biggest problems in campsites are usually monkeys and baboons. These intelligent creatures learn how to open tents, boxes, etc. It is advisable not to keep any food inside your tent (especially meat or strong-smelling fruits such as oranges), which might interest baboons or elephants.
