Tented Camp Kenya Safaris Overview

Tented camp Kenya safaris deliver the classic safari experience: canvas accommodation, bush sounds at night, and mornings that begin with wildlife just beyond camp. Camps range from simple, good-value properties to premium conservancy camps and luxury tented camps.

Tented camps are especially popular in Maasai Mara and surrounding conservancies where night drives and walking safaris may be allowed. If you prefer solid rooms and larger facilities, compare with lodge safaris.
