Laikipia Camel Safari

Your itinerary does not follow a fixed route, but rather will be tailored to suit your individual requirements and preferences, in terms of both the distances walked and the areas visited. A typical day would start with a hearty breakfast, followed by an 8-12km walk during which time the Samburu will move the camp ready for your arrival for lunch. Afternoons can be spent swimming, fishing, or having lessons in tracking animals from the Samburu. Evenings are spent around the campfire enjoying a delicious three course meal. There are lots of activities to keep kids entertained, including fishing, tracking, making bows and arrows, swimming, boating in the rivers, rock climbing, and more. Visits to schools, bomas and markets can also be arranged.

Game is shy of walkers so you will encounter the animals at a distance. You can hope to see reticulated giraffe, elephant, a variety of antelope species, common zebra and Grevy’s zebra as well as numerous species of birds, reptiles and amphibians. Wild dog are present in the Laikipia region, but sightings are rare. The walks do not take place in the core game-viewing regions, but rather in the more remote parts of Laikipia/Samburu.

On arrival, transfer to Lantana Galu Beach Hotel for 4 nights in a two-bedroomed suite on half-board basis.
