Embark on a guided walking safari unlike any other — alongside camels, the time-honored companions of the Samburu and Maasai. This immersive journey takes you deep into the pristine landscapes of northern Kenya’s Laikipia region, where the steady rhythm of camel footsteps sets a calm, contemplative pace.

Traverse rolling savannas, acacia-dotted plains, and rugged escarpments as you explore a wilderness rich in both beauty and biodiversity. Along the way, encounter iconic and rare wildlife — from reticulated giraffes and Grevy’s zebras to elusive species like the gerenuk and Laikipia hartebeest — all framed by the distant silhouette of Mount Kenya.

Walk alongside the camels or meet local herdsmen at a traditional camel camp, where you’re invited to interact with these gentle giants and even assist in their milking — a hands-on glimpse into a centuries-old pastoral way of life. These moments offer a rare window into the deep bond between people and animals, shaped by generations of nomadic tradition.

For those seeking deeper immersion, fly camping with the camels is also available — sleeping under the stars in remote, breathtaking settings.

This experience is subject to availability.
