Is this safari considered participation camping where tents have to be set up and taken down or do these accommodations include en-suite bathrooms?

This is a participation camping safari, which means travellers assist with setting up and taking down their tents. The accommodation is in two-person dome tents at designated campsites. Bathroom facilities are shared at the campsites and are not en-suite.

It is listed under the additional services, Camping service… do I need to pay extra for that? How much? Also do I need to pay for entrance fees on safaris?

This is a tour where the accommodation is camping most nights with some hotel/hostel stays to start and throughout, so there will be no additional cost for camping. Entrance to Lake Nakuru National Park and Masai Mara National Reserve are included.

What are the visa requirements for traveling to Kenya?

Visa requirements are the responsibility of the traveler. It’s recommended to verify all required documents well in advance through official channels.

If I prefer to sleep solo while camping, what are my options?

You can opt for a 'My Own Room' available at additional cost which provides you with your own tent for the duration of the tour.

Are there any payment methods or cards not accepted on the tour?

Exact details about payment methods or cards that are not accepted are not specified, but it's advisable to have multiple payment options.

What activities are included in the Kenya Camping Safari?

The tour focuses on experiencing the natural beauty and wilderness of Kenya, with activities that allow you to explore the national reserves and parks.

What amenities are available at the campsites during the Kenya Safari?

Amen execarry tents to pitch at public sites with gas lanterns, shared bathrooms featuring long drop toilets, and cold showers.

How secure are the tents at the campsites?

While the tents themselves cannot be locked, travelers are recommended to have locks for their luggage for an added measure of security.

What is the best time to see the wildebeest migration?

The optimal time to witness the wildebeest migration is typically at the end of the wet season, around May or June.

Can I take the tour if I skip yellow fever vaccine? I am 70 years old, and my doctor advise it might have strong side effects.

We do not require our travellers to have any vaccines if not required by the countries we offer trips in. Since Kenya only requires the vaccination if you've travelled through/to an endemic country, then we do not require it to join our tour either. We always just ask our travellers to ensure they do what's best for them and to understand the requirements for entry.

This was a fantastic tour if you like safaris (which I do). I wouldn't change anything in the itinerary. Our drivers, James and Patrick, were great - safe and flexible, they found us great spots and helped to find animals. The jeeps were cleaned wuthout us even noticing - great service! Also Francis, our wonderful chef, took fabulous care of us abd was always smiling and happy, despite the long hours he worked.Show more

I loved the trip and the experience. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure our trip was everything promised and more. The food was good - kudos to our chef, Francis, for providing such great meals. Our driver, Patrick was amazing and made sure we got as close as possible to the animals. The price was good and well worth every penny. A camping safari is not really good for older adults (e.g. in our 70s) but we did well and chalked it up to experience. This was a bucket list trip for us and it lived up to everything we hoped for.Show more
