For those who wish to live in tented camps during their holidays in Kenya

If you are looking for a charming and adventurous way to spend your vacation in Kenya, it would be fun to choose camping sites with tents that are set on specific terrains with nice panoramic views of grasslands and mountain ranges. Watch the game unfold around the watering holes at night while enjoying lavish dinner and entertainment. There are several tent camps scattered throughout the game reserves and parks, along rivers, cliffs, hills and mountain tops. These tent camps have good beds, bathrooms, and shower blocks, while others are so luxurious that they will offer fascinating furniture, hot showers, and beds only in a five-star hotel. I want to list here the various places where you can enjoy the convenience of tent camping. My list may not be exhaustive, but it can serve as a guide for those who wish to live in tent camps while on vacation in Kenya.

Amboseli National Park has tent camps and cabins where you can have an uninterrupted view of Mount Kilimanjaro. Wildlife is kept out of the way by a fence that surrounds the campground, making it safe to watch games and hike at night. These tent camps are a complete contrast to the more luxurious cabins at Amboseli Lodge, Tortilis Camp, Amboseli Serena Lodge, and Ol Tukai Lodge, where you will enjoy well-kept gardens, wonderful views of Mount Kilimanjaro, pools, and plenty of amenities. making your stay very comfortable and spiritually rewarding. But of course, if you are traveling on a budget, you can try the Namanga River Hotel, Campi ya Kazi, or Nyati Safari Campground, all with nice tent camps erected under acasia trees, giving you the advantage of the beautiful panoramic view of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Tsavo National Park offers a wide range of wildlife and birds within dense vegetation, swamps, remarkable rolling hills, volcanic caves, and massive rocks. Here you will find tent camps with basic amenities like running water, toilets, mosquito nets, bedding and sanitary facilities. Unlike Amboseli, one will have to make arrangements for lunch and dinner at nearby hostels and hotels. However, some of them have luxurious tent camps, but they are a bit more expensive to rent. There are good places where you can organize tent camps like the Severin Safari Camp in Mombasa, the Voyager Safari Camp at Zimani Gate, the Finch Hatton’s Safari Camp located on the western side of Tsavo National Park and the Satao Camp on the banks of the river.

This list would not be complete without a reference to the coastal city of Mombasa in Kenya. This city is home to the Simba Hills National Park, where elephants, antelopes and zebras can be seen grazing in the grasslands, the sandy beaches of Malindi, the Watamu Marine National Park and the ancient city of Lamu. You are sure to enjoy the best tent camps at Makurumuji Tented Camping in Simba Hills National Park, Shompole Campsite on Lake Magadi, offering a Jakuzzi to keep you cool from the warm breezes.

One thing about tent campsites is the amount of backpack one has to carry, which is a bit cumbersome, but this shouldn’t undermine the benefits that increased with tent campsites. You will definitely be able to save a lot of money which you can invest in many ways like eating in a five star hotel or buying old Masai lingerie, traditional artifacts and the like. It should also be important to appreciate the fact that life in tent camps teaches you and makes you self-sufficient. It is very interesting to see men and women who do no housework at all cleaning dishes while at the campsites.
