Boutique safari camps in Kenya to relax in

Boutique safari camps in Kenya to relax in : Choosing to highlight these boutique Kenyan camps was the hardest assignment we have ever faced, since the country is brimming with unique camping spots and boutique safari camps that will stop at nothing to ensure your stay is one you will cherish for years to come. In any case, we did, so go give them a try and let us know whether we made the correct decision.

Robert’s Camp, Lake Baringo.

Most people agree that Robert’s Camp is the greatest campground in East Africa. Situated on five acres of lush, verdant land that descends to the lakeshore, the camp offers an amazing lakefront setting, an abundance of wildlife, and excellent amenities like barbeque and restrooms. The Thirsty Goat, an outstanding a la carte restaurant, is also there. Family cottages and bandas are other lodging options available at the site.

Enjoy boat rides, bird watching, nature hikes, picnic lunches and breakfasts, and cultural excursions. Visiting Lake Bogoria & Tugen can make for a very memorable safari.

Elephant Pepper Camp, Maasai Mara.

Elephant Pepper is in the Koiyaki group ranch, which is part of the Mara Conservation Areas, so you can anticipate a fair amount of peace and quiet. The game is generally less focused yet still enjoyable, despite appearing to be less car-focused. The Elephant Pepper can be explored on foot, and nighttime game driving is an option.

Elsa’s House, Meru National Park.

The Private House at Elsa’s offers additional seclusion to a small group or family, and its close enough to the main lodge to take advantage of its amenities and mingle when the mood strikes. You have the option of eating in the main dining area or the private residence.

This should appeal to both experienced and novice safari visitors as it provides access to a relatively unexplored area that is becoming a better place to see wild animals. It also makes tourists feel proud, especially when they find out that the park fees they pay go to this marvel of conservation, which was saved from near extinction in the early 1990s by poachers.

Elsa’s Kopje bears the name of the lion that the Adamsons raised and gained notoriety for in the movie Born Free. The camp is fascinatingly contextualized by the story of George and Joy, their lions, and the film’s production, which became intimately tied with Meru. The walls are covered with pictures from this era. You can even visit the park to see Elsa and Pippa’s (their cheetah) tombs.

Kalacha Camp.

In a remote area of Kenya’s northern frontier region, atop an oasis in the hostile Chalbi Desert, lies a community project called Kalacha Camp. Words cannot quite express the wonder of this place, not even on Kenya Safari. Kalacha, a genuine treasure of northern Kenya, is only reachable by private charter and is constructed of palm matting and other natural materials.

The Gabbra people survive off of their livestock in the barren, wind-blown, and infertile Chalbi. They travel to Kalacha to water their camels and cattle from a clean spring; this in and of itself makes for an amazing sight, as do the biblical murals in Ethiopian seen in the little Kalacha town Catholic Church. This is not the place to go if you want to see typical wildlife, but if you want to experience true wilderness, unexpected beauty, and breathtaking views, this is the place to go.

If you’re like that kind of thing, there’s also sand grouse shooting in February and March and from July to the end of October.

Richard’s Camp.

They claim that in the bush, size counts. Richard’s camp is unique in that it consists of just seven double tents hidden away in a small area of forest near the Mara River. Because the Mara is so tiny, guests receive genuinely personalized attention, exactly as you would expect your house to feel if you were a resident there.

It can be quite pleasant to spend an evening at the large table outside or by the fireplace with meals on your lap. It is located in the Mara Conservation Area, which is a fantastic game region. During the dry season, which runs from March to October, you may be able to see elephants strolling around while you eat.

Richard’s Camp is located on a Maasai group property that is largely used for wildlife and tourism because it is a part of the Mara in the Ol Choro conservation area. Because Maasai livestock are permitted to graze here, the grass at the camp is maintained short.

Since long grass conceals predators and is often unnutritious to eat, herd animals dislike it, which is why it tends to draw a lot of game to the area during the dry season, which runs from March to August.
