This camping safari has been designed to offer the same high quality wildlife safari experience provided by the top-end safari camps, with 4x4 game viewing escorted by top class guides and in exclusive wildlife conservancies away from the tourist minibuses, but at a hugely reduced price by staying in small basic mobile camps, "real camping" instead of the luxury accommodation of the expensive up-market tented lodges.
All game drives are in four-wheel-drive customised safari vehicles taking a maximum of 6 passengers. Your driver-guide is a wildlife expert and certified by the Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association.
The Gamewatchers Mobile Safari camps are set up on our own exclusive camp sites in the Selenkay Conservancy in the Amboseli eco-system and in the Ol Kinyei Conservancy in the Mara.
At each safari camp site we have service staff who do all the work associated with camping, like washing up, heating water for showers, doing the cooking and serving the food.
An experienced safari cook is at the camp to prepare the daily meals. Food is of the same quality as in a luxury safari camp and is included in the price, (not bought through a 'kitty' like some other camping safaris).
The camp is hosted by the safari guide.
Tents are Coleman Sundome tents for 2 persons or can fit one child with 2 adults. They are 6 ft tall and they are 10ft x 10ft square.
Clients bring their own sleeping bag and a towel or hire for $50 per person and sleep on comfortable mattresses on the tent floor.
Each tent on our adventure mobile safari has its own private bathroom in a cubicle located behind the tent with flush toilet, wash basin and safari shower.
Mineral water is provided daily at camp and on game drives and walks. Drinks other than mineral water are not included, but a stop is made at a shop en route to each camp to enable you to buy wine, beer or soft drinks as required.
Transfers from Nairobi to the camps are by minibus, with a short flight by light aircraft from Nairobi to Mara and back by minibus. Then while at camp all safari transport is in 4x4 customised safari vehicle.
