These are not luxury safaris, nor rough and uncomfortable. You travel through unspoilt areas of north central Kenya-Samburu. Local Samburu people guide you. The safari is led by local warriors some of whom can inform you of the local customs and explain what you can see as you trek along. It is not arduous; you may walk or ride supplies plus any personal needs such as beers, spirits and sodas that you may purchase from the Clubhouse before departing. The camp and shower are erected for you and the cook will keep you well fed for the day's activities. Each afternoon you are free to join a nature walk accompanied by Samburu warriors through the bush.

Day 1: Nairobi – Maralal After breakfast, depart from our Nairobi offices traveling via Nyahururu. Rumuruti to our Maralal Camel club for overnight in self contained bandas cottages.

Day 2: Camel Trekking – Walking After breakfast depart with your camels and Morans into the bush. You will ride through the area never quite sure what you will see. It should be remembered that this safari is not primarily a game-viewing safari. It is one led by and in total harmony with the local Samburu people. Picnic lunch en-route, afternoon arrival at your pre-prepared camp where your cook will be ready to offer you afternoon tea and snacks. Thereafter, an optional guided walk through the bush before dinner and overnight under the stars.

Day 3, 4 & 5: Camel Trekking – Walking Mattresses pad, the locally wooden frames on the camels, and after breakfast you are set and through the bush either hiking or walking as you choose. It is a leisurely pace and you may change from walking to hiking, as you prefer. You will pass by Samburu Manyattas that your lead Moran can organize for you to visit. As this is spontaneous, the Morans will discuss with the elders for permission for your entry and you will be asked to pay something towards the family for photography and viewing their homes. This is not always included in the safari cost and is only a small amount offered as a courtesy. Each day you will have a picnic lunch in the bush, then combine to your next campsite, where your cook will be waiting for you. Greater part of your evening shall be spent beside water and a shower will be erected for you to dust off (depending on water availability).

Day 6: End of Camel Trek The camel trek ends late morning back at the Clubhouse. Here you will take lunch before walking with your Moran guides into the frontier town of Maralal . The art crafts to see, the Samburu market and a way of life different from other places you might have visited on your holiday. In the evening, the Morans and their ladies will perform dances for you as entertainment at the Club where you will be free to take as many pictures as you want even to join in the dancing if you feel up to it. This night you are in the bandas again and can clean up before your free return transfer in the morning.
