Camel Trekking
Leave the safari vehicle behind and explore Africa on camelback. Camel trekking offers a quiet and relaxed way to experience Kenya’s landscapes, with beautiful views, wildlife and local guides along the way.
Camel trekking is a unique way to explore Africa’s wilderness. Sitting high on a camel gives you a different view of the landscape, while the animals’ steady pace allows you to take your time and enjoy your surroundings.
At Nziza, we can arrange camel trekking at select properties in Kenya and other destinations. Guided by experienced camel handlers, you can explore open plains, rugged landscapes and scenic trails away from the usual safari routes.
Why Go Camel Trekking?
Camel trekking offers a slower and more peaceful way to experience the wilderness. With no engine, you can enjoy the sounds of nature as you travel through the landscape.
Camels are well suited to dry and rugged environments, allowing you to explore areas that may be difficult to reach by safari vehicle. Their gentle pace also gives you more time to enjoy the scenery, spot wildlife and connect with your surroundings.
Things to Do on a Camel Trek
Depending on the property and destination, experiences can include:
- Guided camel treks across Laikipia and Samburu
- Sundowner camel rides at sunset
- Multi-day camel safaris with mobile camps
- Wildlife viewing along the way
- Cultural experiences with local camel handlers
- Short camel rides for a relaxed introduction to the experience
Where to Experience Camel Trekking
Camel trekking is available at selected Nziza partner properties, including Sosian Lodge and Ol Lentille in Kenya’s Laikipia region, Elephant Watch Camp and Sasaab in Samburu, Tawi Lodge near Amboseli, and Rosenhof Country House in South Africa’s Western Cape.
Plan Your Camel Trek
Whether you want a short sunset ride or a multi-day camel safari, camel trekking is a memorable way to explore Africa away from the usual safari routes.
Nziza can include a camel trekking experience as part of a tailor-made African journey, based on your interests and the properties you choose to visit.
