Classic Camping Aberdare encompasses the best of Kenya - excellent
game viewing both from the vehicle and on guided walks, stunning scenery,
time spent in the company of tribal people as well a stay on the home farm
of your host. The maximum group size is 10 people ensuring personal service.
Classic Camping Laikipia encompasses the best of Kenya. It is similar to
the Classic Camping Aberdares safari except that Nairobi is not included (if
needed, we will book Nairobi accommodation for you) and instead of a visit
to the Aberdares National Park you visit the Laikipia Plateau (see Day 4).
The maximum group size is 10 people ensuring personal service.
Unique to these Classic safaris is your stay the beautiful Rift Valley farm
of your host. Campsites are in beautiful settings, carefully chosen to be as
private and wild as possible. The sleeping tents have a spacious insect
proof inner, with full sized (6ft 9inch long) comfortable beds - a double
bed if you like - with bedside table and hanging space. Continental quilts
are provided as standard, but we can supply sheets and blankets if you
prefer. Each tent has its own private veranda with chairs so that you can
choose to read or write in privacy. You will find your own private toilet
and shower tents just behind your sleeping tent, hot water for showering or
for wash basins is available at any time.
If you are looking for a true African adventure, combined with exclusivity
and comfort, then this safari will appeal to you. If you visit Africa
without spending nights under canvas in a private camp, you have missed the
experience of a true African Safari. Camping allows you to get close to the
sounds, smells and sights of Africa. Lodges and home stays allow you to
relax in more familiar surroundings.
