KARISIA LUXURY MOBILE CAMP

Tumaren Ranch, Laikipia

Personalised, small-scale and family-run, the walking safaris are supported by camels. The trips offer a fascinating perspective on not only the diverse wildlife but also their habitats.

On foot, you fine tune your senses and learn from the knowledgeable guides.

A train of friendly camels carry the luxury safari camps to remote and splendid locations each day; a traditional adventure and an exhilarating safari experience.

Across rugged landscapes, your journey will take you across the 3,000-acre Tumaren Ranch. Starting at the permanent camp, the camel train treks out carrying all manner of tent furnishings, from beds to chairs, night stands to bucket showers.

Tumaren Ranch is dedicated to the conservation of the wildlife in the area, and over the last few years, numbers have increased spectacularly.

NGARE SERIAN

Mara North Cons., Masai Mara

This small, eco-conscious, intimate, classic camp is tasteful constructed on the banks of the Mara River.

Built along the riverbank, the tents’ private verandahs, open bathrooms and outdoor bathtubs provide the perfect look out for hippo pods in the Mara River and views over the Olooloo Escarpment. To get to the understated yet cosy camp, guests need to cross, on foot, a narrow, thrilling 250 foot rope bridge. This line represents a crossover into the ‘wild’, where Wi-Fi, instant messaging and emails are lost to the ether. One night in ‘The Nest’, built 12 feet up into a Warburgia tree, gives guests the opportunity to enjoy a true romantic evening with serenades of nearby hippo.

Mara North Conservancy offers undisturbed wildlife viewing and endless walking opportunities with knowledgeable guides. The conservancy is exclusively used by the visitors of the member properties and therefore there is a very low vehicle density.

For 35 years, Cheli & Peacock Safaris, has operated East African safaris tailored to every traveller’s needs. In some cases, our adventurer’s want some guidance, so each year we create a small group of signature itineraries to inspire wanderlust. These itineraries are more of a suggestion than a template and can be developed further by our Safari Planners, who are passionate safari experts and can advise explorers on the perfect itinerary according to their interests, group, budget and travel dates.

At the forefront of everything we do is an understanding of sustainable travel, and therefore, we partner with organisations that share our approach to preserve Africa’s unique and exceptional biodiversity. We know that our travellers are now far more inclined to stay at small boutique lodges and camps that are giving back to the local community and have a minimal effect on the surrounding environment. We appreciate that while vistas and wildlife are at the forefront of every safari experience, so is the modern visitor’s desire to engage, at a deeper level, with the destination and its peoples. We do as much as we can to ensure that each of our guests has nothing but a positive effect on the places they visit, supporting local education programmes, conservation initiatives and development projects that have a lasting effect on those micro-economies, communities and ecosystems.
