Eco Friendly, education groups or
just seeking adventure? Brace yourself
for Arabian knights in the
Kenyan deserts. You could involve
yourself in the discovery of both
your stamina and the Kenyan scenery.
Designed as a fully eco friendly
activity, the camel safari involves
the use of desert horses (camels)
and to a lesser though not negligible
extent, your feet as the chief means
of transport.
Day
1: Nairobi - Maralal
After breakfast, depart from our
Nairobi offices travelling via Nyahururu.
Rumuruti to our Maralal Camel club
for overnight in self contained
bandas cottages.
Day
2: Camel Trekking - Walking
After breakfast depart with your
camels and Morans into the bush.
You will ride through the area never
quite sure what you will see. It
should be remembered that this safari
is not primarily a game-viewing
safari. It is one led by and in
total harmony with the local Samburu
people. Picnic lunch en-route, afternoon
arrival at your pre-prepared camp
where your cook will be ready to
offer you afternoon tea and snacks.
Thereafter, an optional guided walk
through the bush before dinner and
overnight under the stars.
Day
3, 4 & 5 - : Camel Trekking
- Walking
Mattresses pad, the locally wooden
frames on the camels, and after
breakfast you are set and through
the bush either hiking or walking
as you choose. It is a leisurely
pace and you may change from walking
to hiking, as you prefer. You will
pass by Samburu Manyattas that your
lead Moran can organize for you
to visit. As this is spontaneous,
the Morans will discuss with the
elders for permission for your entry
and you will be asked to pay something
towards the family for photography
and viewing their homes.
This is not always included in the
safari cost and is only a small
amount offered as a courtesy. Each
day you will have a picnic lunch
in the bush, then combine to your
next campsite, where your cook will
be waiting for you. Greater part
of your evening shall be spent beside
water and a shower will be erected
for you to dust off (depending on
water availability).
Day 6: End of Camel Trek
The camel trek ends late morning
back at the Clubhouse. Here you
will take lunch before walking with
your Moran guides into the frontier
town of Maralal. The art crafts
to see, the Samburu market and a
way of life different from other
places you might have visited on
your holiday. In the evening, the
Morans and their ladies will perform
dances for you as entertainment
at the Club where you will be free
to take as many pictures as you
want even to join in the dancing
if you feel up to it. This night
you are in the bandas again and
can clean up before your free return
transfer in the morning.
Day 7: Maralal- Nairobi
After breakfast, transfer back to
Nairobi. You are expected to arrive
in Nairobi usually in the late afternoon.
