Activity Safari

Porini Adventure Camping

Country of Origin: 

Accommodation is in small 2-man dome tents. It is “real camping” and all guests who book the Mobile Adventure 4x4 Safari need to bring their own sleeping bag as well as a towel. All meals are prepared by the camp cook. Mineral water is provided in camp and on game drives but guests need to buy their own drinks at a supermarket en route to each camp.

The big attraction is being in small campsites in exclusive wildlife conservancies with activity-packed itineraries and excellent guides and with game drives in open-sided 4x4 safari vehicles, not vans. This camping safari has been designed to offer the same high quality wildlife safari experience provided by the top-end safari camps, with 4x4 game viewing escorted by top class guides and in exclusive wildlife conservancies away from the tourist minibuses, but at a hugely reduced price by staying in small basic mobile camps, “real camping” instead of the luxury accommodation of the expensive up-market tented lodges.

For those for whom the wildlife safari experience is more important than the accommodation, and who are prepared to sleep in small tents in sleeping bags on a mattress on the floor with an element of “roughing it”, this gives an opportunity for an exceptional and exclusive wildlife experience with high quality guiding but at a fraction of the price. The Gamewatchers Mobile Camps are sited in private conservancies with a wealth of wildlife and where you can go on walks with Maasai guides and take night drives but they are also conveniently located for easy access to Amboseli National Park and the Maasai Mara Reserve.

Walking Wild

Country of Origin: 
Walking Wild in Laikipiak Maasai-land is a walking safari experience through some of Kenya's best wildlife-viewing habitats - the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and two Maasai Community Conservation areas, Il Ngwesi and Lekurruki. These 3 areas provide some of the most stunning landscapes in Africa and are home to a wide variety of game including the "Big Five" (Rhino, Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Buffalo), over 420 species of birds, Reticulated Giraffe, Cheetah, numerous different antelopes, and endangered species such as the Grevy's Zebra and Sitatunga. Professional guides lead the 5-day walking safaris starting on the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, recognised as one of Africa's top safari destinations. The walking route runs across Lewa through Il Ngwesi and ends at Lekurruki, with all 5 nights spent camping out under the stars (the 3 night safari is from Lewa to Il Ngwesi). Guests will traverse a variety of ecosystems, enabling them to experience the diversity of flora and fauna that the areas have to offer. The focus of the safari is learning about the ecosystems as well as the local Maasai culture. Guests will be taught tracking techniques and other vital bush skills, as well as how to identify and understand the behaviour of the insects, plants, and animals they come across. Local Maasai morani (warriors) will join the guests to give insight into traditional Maasai customs.

Nomadic Trail Camel Safari

Country of Origin: 
Camel Safari in and around the Matthews and Ndoto mountains in the northern district of Kenya.
camels in the lugga.jpg
Schedule: 


  • 1
    Each safari is different. Each one is tailored to your interest, the time you have available and the season. Moonlight is a bonus. The distance you cover each day is flexible, depending on you and suitable campsites, but it is usually between 8-20kms. You don't have to be superfit, just a little resilient. It takes time to tune into nomadic life - but once it grabs…… these will be days you won't forget.
  • 2
    Using camels to carry camping gear and supplies enables us to travel in style in this rugged and relatively unexplored country. These are walking safaris but one or two riding camels are always available, terrain permitting. Porters are called in when one of the striking peaks is our destination and it is too steep and cold for the 'ships of the desert'. The climate is hot and dry. Rains are expected in April/May and again in November. This in no way prevents us from going on safari: seeing a dry lugga change to a roaring torrent in 2 minutes is something else!
  • 3
    Your hosts are Helen Douglas Dufresne and her loyal Samburu crew who are committed to ensuring that you enjoy your safari in every possible comfort and safety. They make a good team, are all experts in the bush and will proudly show you everything of interest. Helen, after many years in the district, is well known and respected by the local people and well versed in folklore, botany, ornithology and astrology.

Gorilla, Chimps and Queen Elizabeth NP Budget

Country of Origin: 
8 day safari to trek and watch Gorillas in Bwindi, staying at Lake Mburu and Queen Elizabeth National Park. Chimpanzee track in Kibale. Budget accommodation.
Elephants
Schedule: 


  • Arrive on the early morning flight, freshen up and have a meal then immediately drive southwestwards, with a stop at the equator, to Lake Mburo National Park. This is the only park in Uganda with an entire lake, from which it derives its name. Game drive and canoe ride on Lake Mburo. Dinner and overnight at the Mantana Tented Camp, FB.
  • After an early morning game drive we depart for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The park derives its name from its thick vegetation with an immense variety of evergreen trees, festooned with lianas, epiphytes, which reach great heights in their search for sunlight plus half of the world’s population of mountain gorillas. Dinner and overnight at Buhoma Community Centre, FB.
  • GORILLA TRACKING, this is it, this is the day you have been waiting for. Get up for an early breakfast and off you go on your adventure, after the gorillas. Imagine coming less than 5 metres close to these primates. It won’t be easy but it certainly will be worth it. Overnight at Buhoma Community Centre. Gorilla Tracking: This is the major activity in Bwindi, with four gorilla groups currently available daily for tourists. Mubare group (10 gorillas, 1 silverback) was opened for tourism in 1993, Habinyanja group (18 gorillas, 1 silverback) opened in July 1998, Rushegura group (10 gorillas, 1 silverback) was opened in July 2002, while Nkuringo group (19 gorillas, 2 silverbacks) was opened for tourism in April 2004. Book at least 3 months (but not more than two years) in advance to ensure that requested dates are available.Gorilla tracking in Bwindi can be challenging, therefore ensure fitness. Gorilla tracking experience starts at 8.30 am local time and can last from a few hours to a whole day! Registration at the gate commences at 7.45 am. What to bring: Wear jungle shoes suitable for steep muddy slopes and carry a rain jacket because the park is often wet. Put on ear plugs for those who feel uncomfortable with jungle sounds. Carry rain gear, sunscreen lotion, a hat (as the weather is unpredictable) and insect repellant. Carry a packed lunch.
  • After breakfast depart to Queen Elizabeth National Park. Check into your lodge; relax for the rest of the day. Dinner and overnight is in the new cottages of the Institute Hostel, FB.

Comfortable camping facilities, excellent cuisine and experienced guides will ensure your well being on your safari. This is a walking safari but riding camels are available when the terrain allows.

Lunch and a rest in the heat of the day will recharge you for an early evening game walk and sundowner to watch the dusk creeping over the land. A hot shower, an evening around the campfire and a night under the stars with all the exciting sounds of the African night will complete your day.
  • Cool clothes, a set of warm clothes, sweater, light rain coat, two pairs of walking shoes or boots, hat sunscreen, insect repellant and a water bottle, all packed in a soft bag.
