Karisia Walking Safaris

Karisia specialise in walking safaris supported by camels in the Laikipia and Samburu region of northern Kenya. This area is vast and encompasses rich wildlife – around Tumaren, the Ewaso River basin, Laikipia Plateau and Borana – and dramatic scenery – the forested Karisia Hills, Mukogodo Forest, and the remote rocky outcrops on Tale, Nantodo and Kirimun, which sweep into sand rivers far below.

There are two safari choices – “luxury safari” or “classic safari”. On a luxury safari you will have a large walk-in frame tent with more space. Loo and bathroom facilities consist of one toilet and one mobile shower for each tent. On a classic safari you will have two-person dome tents and a shared shower and loo tent. Both types of safari have long drop loos with wooden seats, which are freshly dug for each camp. On all safaris camels will carry luggage and equipment as well as tired walkers.

The itineraries can be tailored to suit individual requirements from the distance walked each day to the areas visited. Afternoons can be spent bird watching, swimming or fishing. Evenings are spent around the campfire enjoying a delicious three-course meal. To get a feel for how you would spend your days, read this article.
