Walking Wild: An Expedition With Camels

starting from $520 per night

This is one of the most unique opportunities to explore remote wilderness areas on foot. As camels transport your camp, you'll walk through stunning landscapes, encountering remarkable wildlife and connecting with local communities along the way. Each day ends with your arrival at a new camp just before sunset, where you'll enjoy alfresco dining under the stars, prepared by your Maasai guides. This mobile safari is designed for an intimate and authentic experience of the wild, guided by highly trained experts.

Get up close to black and white rhinos alongside elephants, buffalo, and big cats in their natural habitat. Though the walks can be physically challenging, they are scheduled for the cooler hours of early morning and late afternoon. Your safety is a top priority, with each walk led by expert guides who have an in-depth understanding of the environment and wildlife behavior.

Highlights

  • Dome shade netting tents are insect and reptile-proof with PVC floors, a bedroll with sheets and blankets and a flysheet in case of rain.
  • You'll have chef-prepared, full-board meals by the campfire, served at a set dining table.
  • Enjoy a proper toilet and bucket shower, available once camp is set.
  • Conservancy fees are included in the price. 
  • The trips are a minimum of 3 nights with a minimum of 4 people.
  • There is the option of starting or finishing your trip with a stay at Il Il Ngwesi Eco Lodge for an added fee.
