For locals, camel safaris have been for centuries a part of their everyday life, as they crossed the deserts and wide plains by camel trains, following ancient routes through deep valleys and along winding dry river beds.

Camels are perfectly adapted in the environment of East Africa. Most of the time they are used as pack animals rather than riding and the norm on a camel safari is to walk beside your camel. But for those who want to ride there are always saddles supplied. Gifted local guides -usually a nomadic Samburu tribesman- will accompany you all through the safari and even those that are afraid in the beginning, get used to the relaxed pace of the camels and tune up with the rhythms of nature.
