Why Choose Kenya Camping Safaris?

Camping safaris in Kenya provide a deep connection to nature while keeping costs down. Unlike luxury lodges, budget tented camps let you hear lions roar at night or wake to the sounds of birds in the wild. Whether you camp under the stars or stay in a mobile tented camp with en-suite options, you get the same world-class wildlife encounters in places like:

• Maasai Mara National Reserve – Perfect for the Great Migration and Big Five sightings.

• Amboseli National Park – Famous for elephants and Mount Kilimanjaro views.

• Samburu Reserve – Home to rare species like Grevy’s zebra and gerenuk.

• Lake Naivasha & Hell’s Gate – Ideal for cycling safaris and boat rides.

• Tsavo East & West – Great for off-the-beaten-track camping.

Explore our 7 Days Kenya Group Safaris for sample itineraries that include camping options in these parks.
