Travati is looking forward to bringing our clients to Kenya as a recent Kenya Tourism Board webinar shone a spotlight on alternative safari options in the Laikipia Region of Kenya – from camel-supported walking tours to vintage Land Rover safaris.
eTNW has reported that Kenya’s Laikipia Plateau is an area of pristine wilderness, situated north of Nairobi and Mount Kenya. This up and coming game-viewing destination is growing in popularity due its diversity of game, and sightings of large mammals, as well as wide range of endangered species are common. Multiple ethnic communities also live in the area with the Kikuyu and the Maasai forming the largest portion of its residents.
Walking safaris supported by camels
Karisia Walking Safaris specialises in walking tours supported by camels. The walking safaris are individually tailored to the guest’s interests and abilities. Guests can choose a centre-based trip where they will be accommodated at Tumaren Camp, within the lodge’s private conservation area in Laikipia, or they can opt for a mobile walking safari option.
Vintage Land Rovers
Also located in the Laikipia region, the camp for The Safari Series overlooks the Lolldaiga Hills and a small dam frequented by game. Guests are accommodated in luxury tents with large comfortable beds, solar-powered lighting and electricity and an en-suite bathroom with flushing toilets and hot showers.
Setting itself apart from other game lodges, The Safari Series offers guests the opportunity to take a self-drive safari in a classic Land Rovers.
