A Camping Kenya safari means a tented camp with no fence or wall, and is a much better part of an in Kenya safari than sleeping in a lodge. Of course in a camp with no fence the animals you have come to see, do come into the camp especially at night. Close encounters with an elephant browsing three feet from your tent is what a camping Kenya safari is all about.
As a family our first experience of an in Kenya safari was at the famous Galdessa Camp in Tsavo East. With two small children and apprehensive parents we felt that a fixed camp was going to be about as close to the wilderness as we could cope with, and so in the purest sense of the word it wasn0t a camping Kenya safari, but Galdessa is a camp with no fences or walls. The 0tents0 were thatched bandas and a great deal more civilized than we expected with electricity, running water, and comfortable beds.

A Kenya Safari Holiday taking in the Masai Mara, and wanting to see as much wildlife as possible, must include the top class Bateleur Camp at Kichwa Tembo, and here is why it should be a compulsory part of your luxury African safari.
Firstly if you are taking a Kenya Safari Holiday, then you must want to see the Great Migration between June and October, and the Bateleur Camp overlooks the sweeping Masai Mara plains, where during the migration you can witness the massive passing throngs of animals.
Bateleur camp has been deliberately designed to give the feel of the Kenya Safaris of the 20’s and 30’s and the nine tented suites in each of the two camps certainly do that.
The suites sit in a lush forest kept moist by the river, and are classically elegant with polished wooden floors, ensuite bathrooms with glass walled showers, twin hand basins and a separate flushing toilet.
Each tent has a private verandah, and most importantly it overlooks the vastness of the Masai Mara, and the plentiful game. Add to this a personal butler to cater to your every whim, and it is easy to see how your Kenya safari holiday in the Masai Mara becomes […]
