Tumaren Camp is perfectly situated on the edge of a wide sweeping plain with panoramic views dotted with the iconic acacia tree. To the south, the landscape is defined by granitic inselbergs, rising up like islands on the savanna.
The grasslands are rich with wildlife, easily slip away the hours watching animals wander by or photograph the huge variety of birds coming to the bird bath in front of the sitting room.
The activities are endless, whatever your energy level, there's an option to suit you. Go on guided walks, camel rides, rock climbing, picnics, visit the local markets, beading, school and homes or relax on a game drive should you wish.
For those feeling very active, you have the option of jogging escorted (where else in the world) or pedal out on a mountain ride bike like no other. The 20 metre lap pool looks out across the open plains and has a funky bar for those wanting a cocktail as the sun goes down.

A large, double tent with one double bed and one single bed (separated by a divider ) with comfortable furnishings. You're bound to feel like this is your own little African hideaway.

We have an incredible diversity of birds within Kenya and our part of Eastern Laikipia is no exception. Many low country species reach us from the east as well as species typical of higher altitudes. James Christian worked for many years as a research biologist with birds and is always thrilled to take interested birdwatchers out to find some of our specialties.
Beading/ drawing with Eunice or Albeta at Tumaren Camp.
Our Ndorobo trackers are among some of the best in the country and tracking is a large part of every walk we do. It is routine on our walks to track a predator till we get a good look or simply to decipher the stories left in the soil by the animals that roam past our camps.
A visit to the female camel boma is a must! Help milk a camel if you wish. Selfies with the baby camels are highly encouraged!
Our camels are friendly and children love riding them. They also carry water, snacks and extra bags for longer treks. Tracking and looking at wildlife is just as much a part of our camels outings as it is while walking or tracking.
Game drives can be very productive. Ask the guides where might be best for game viewings and if you like photography let them know what kind of pictures you most like to take.
Embark on a short walk, a stroll or a longer walk with your guide. The wildlife in this area is rich and you can enjoy walking in different locations each day. Always walk with a guide.
Enjoy a 5-10 km run. Arrange this with your guide and he will get a team member to escort you.
We support and work closely with three schools in our area. II Motiok & Kimanjo Primary Schools and Kimancho Secondary School. Visiting a school or even do a lecture to a class, this can easily be arranged. The children love this and learn a lot from meeting people from other parts of the world.
We financially support the local schools in a variety of ways and if you would like to get involved please let us know.
Visiting the homes of one of our Masai neighbours is great fun. It is interesting to visit in the evening when the livestock comes in for the night. You can watch the goats and cows being milked and go into the homes to catch a glimpse of the day-to-day life of our neighbours. The children are very playful and enjoy a game of football or ultimate frisbee.
Market days occur once every two weeks on a Wednesday in Kimancho (30 mins away) and every Tuesday in Ol Donyo Nyiro (1.5 hours away).
On every safari our team member help kids and adults to know some basic life lessons such as how to start a fire with no matches. We also talk a great deal about tracking and how to think about smell and wind direction when walking around large mammals. Spear throwing and Rungu (traditional wooden throwing club) making are also important parts of the syllabus.
We have set up over 25 top-rope climbs which range from beginner levels to more advanced levels. Our trained guides belays the climber from below and the climber climbs up to the anchor and is then lowered back down. We have all the equipment needed for this activity.
