Budget Camping Safari Tips

105 38
Kenya camping is possible around the country and it range from private campsites to park campsites.
The private campsites tend to be with good facilities - hot shower and flush toilets.Mostly shaded sites, they also come with a good possibility of a restaurant and variety of activities.
Park campsites have mostly basic facilities - long-drop toilet and showers - to no facilities at all where you have to be fully self-sufficient, bringing everything including water.

The parks have public campsites, or private campsites where you pay extra to have the campsite to yourself. The latter is normally used by mobile camping safaris.
The park campsites are considerably more expensive than the private campsites,due to the additional cost of park and vehicle fees. For non-residents in Kenya, the private campsites are better value for money.

Sometimes tents can be hired in private campsites. If bringing your own tent, make sure it has a sewn-in groundsheet and can zip securely to keep out insects, especially mosquitoes and ants.
Some campsites do provide bandas (small huts with a bed, some with basic facilities) where you need to bring all your bedding and equipment.

People, who would like to combine camping with mountain climbing, will have a fantastic time looking into doing so in the Mount Kenya region. The options are numerous and there is a great amount of local knowledge available to find the right route and finest climb.
The best time to go is pretty much year round, but it is a good idea to avoid the rainy season.
Something to keep in mind are the baboons, who can be a real hazard. They can tear a lightweight tent to shreds. If you check with the park on entry in this regard, you can have someone guard your tent while you're out if need be.
