A pop-up camp with very low-impact
A truly intimate authentic safari camping experience where you can have a behind-the-scenes tour of the park headquarters
Karenge Bush Camp is a seasonal camp set up twice annually for three consecutive months at a time. Meaning ‘small footprint’ in the local language Kinyarwanda, Karenge really does live up to its name - when dismantled, this small bush camp leaves behind very little evidence that it ever existed.
Six tents accommodate a maximum of 12 guests and include camp beds with mattresses and bedding, reed mat floors and solar-powered lights. Each tent has a rustic, open-air bathroom which consists of a bucket shower with hot water delivered daily, an eco-dropdown toilet, and a canvas basin. Meals are served in the dining tent each day.
The activities at the lodge include a Lake Ihema boat trip (ideal for bird-watching and seeing hippos and crocodiles), fishing on Lake Shakani, a behind-the-scenes tour of the park headquarters, day and night game drives, guided walks and community cultural experiences.

Our Difference
The Far & Wild Community...
We think that the best people to talk about an experience are those directly linked to it. Our website and brochures let the ‘real experts’ show their stuff… local experts, travellers & industry insiders. Look out for the coloured markers all around the site... they mean that you are reading something contributed directly by a person from one of these different parts of the community we are part of.
The best memories aren’t simply places and hotels, they are made up of experiences and people… so we connect with local communities, and strive for sustainable travel to make your holiday special
