Property Overview

A camel safari is the ideal means of traveling through northern Kenya. Escape the constraints of a vehicle and lose yourself in the wilds where the camel train is the only traffic for miles. Every day is unique and every safari is custom designed to suit your interests and needs.

A motto of Karisia Walking Safaris is: cater for luxury without compromising adventure. You will walk through a great variety of country from high montane forest to broad sand rivers called luggas. With the changes in habitat come changes in ecology, habitat, and wildlife. On safari you will awake with the rising sun, eat a delicious breakfast prepared by chefs, and begin the journey.

Experience & Activities

You will be accompanied by your experienced guide and Laikipia Maasai tracker along with a few riding camels who carry your refreshments and day-packs. The pack camels follow behind with the camp, but often times pass ahead as you stop to investigate the things encountered along the way. You arrive at your next camp to be greeted with a cool drink and a gourmet lunch.

The afternoon is normally spent relaxing, enjoying a river, or a read before going for an evening walk and sundowner. In the evening, hot showers are offered before drinks by the fire and a three-course dinner under the stars. With your feet up and a cool drink in your hand, you are reminded how simple true luxury really is.

These trips are all offered with different levels of accommodation -Luxury walking safari, classic walking safari and AirBnC Walking safari – to suit your needs, preferences, and budget. The majority of the trips are exclusive, but can also be offered as Group Departures a few times a year. Some mobile safaris will make a stop at Tumaren Camp, a beautifully furnished home camp that Karisia Mobile uses as a base for walks and drives. Any combination of walks or ideas can work, so do not hesitate to tell us about how you might like to make your own safari.
