The camps are sited in private conservancies so that walking and night drives may be taken but are also conveniently located for easy access to Amboseli and Nakuru national parks and the Maasai Mara. Transport is by four-wheel-drive Toyota Landcruiser with roof hatches. Your driver-guide is a wildlife and nature expert and member of the Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association. Equipment is carried in a trailer behind the vehicle. When in camp the trailer is removed and game drives are done in the vehicle. Tents are heavy-duty canvas dome tents for 2 persons. You will need to bring your own sleeping bag and a towel, but all other camp furniture and equipment, including a high density sleeping mattress, is provided. Camps are set up on private, exclusive camp sites. At each camp, work like washing up, heating water for showers, doing the cooking and serving the food is done for you, but you would be required to help put up and take down your tent. An experienced safari cook travels with the safari. Food is of the same quality as in a luxury camp and is included in the price (ie. no extra kitty or local payment). Departures are every second Sunday.
A camping safari staying in small private mobile camps is one of the best ways to experience Kenya's natural attractions. The safari has been designed to include a variety of habitats and wildlife.
The local Maasai community has set aside the area for a reserve for wildlife so that the habitat can be protected and wildlife conserved. The community is receiving an income from leasing the area for ecotourism and also receives an entry fee for each tourist visitor. All roads have been constructed using local labour so that the members of the community gain employment from the Selenkay Conservation Area. In addition to the road maintenance team, Game Scouts have been employed to carry out patrols to see that the wildlife is protected.
