Set on the edge of a plain with long, panoramic views toward Mt. Kenya and the Aberdare Range to the south, Nyarara Camp is aptly named after the Maasai word for "cheetah," as these magnificent animals are often seen in the area.
From this camp, we embark on walks across vast plains and mixed bushland, seeking herds of Common and Grevy’s zebra, oryx, Grant’s gazelle, and the predominant Reticulated Giraffe on the open plains. In the mixed bush, we might encounter Dik Diks, Gerenuk, Impala, and, with a bit of luck, Lesser Kudu.
The views south are towards the Abedare mountain range and Mt Kenya
Our Luxury Walking Safaris with Camels offers a touch of extravagance to this already magical safari.
On this safari, your entire camp is moved daily as you sojourn through this pristine wilderness.
Your team will comprise of camp staff, armed, professional guides and a caravan of camels 10-25 strong depending on the size of your group. The riding camels accompany you for your walk and can be ridden or simply carry refreshments for the morning.
Being away from the hustle and bustle of the safari circuit, this unique experience still offers you those lavish touches with a king size mattress and feather pillows. Our bedding comprises of 2 feather pillows, imported sheets and duvets as well as dressing gowns, towels, hot water bottles, solar lights and carpets. Literally everything apart from the four-poster bed!
Your accommodation is a spacious traditional, canvas tent with a chair, table, mirror, drinking water and a basin on the veranda. All carried by a friendly camel.
Bucket showers come with a good supply of hot water and each tent has it own toilet behind the tent.
For families with young children, we are happy to join two tents together creating a family unit so the children feel secure.
Meals are freshly prepared each day using a good range of healthy ingredients. Much of the produce is locally sourced and we can cater to any dietary request. Breakfast and dinner are served at the table, whereas lunch is an informal buffet-style affair.
Alcoholic refreshments include a selection of luxury beers, wines and spirits for those who love to toast the African sun as she sinks each day.
