If you are looking for a charming and adventurous way to spend your Kenyan vacation, it would be fun to choose tented camping sites that are located on specific terrain with nice panoramic views of grasslands and mountain ranges. You’ll see game running around the waterholes at night while you enjoy lavish dining and entertainment. There are several tent camps scattered throughout the game reserves and parks, along rivers, cliffs, hills, and mountain tops. These tented camps have good beds, bathrooms and shower blocks, while others are so luxurious that they offer furniture, hot showers and fascinating beds like those in a five-star hotel. I wish to list here the various places where you can enjoy the comfort of tent camping. My list may not be exhaustive, but it can serve as a guide for those who wish to live in tented camps while on vacation in Kenya.

The Amboseli National Park has tents and cabins where you can have an uninterrupted view of Mount Kilimanjaro. Wildlife is kept out by a fence that surrounds the campground, making it safe to view game and walk at night. These tented camps are in stark contrast to the more luxurious lodges at Amboseli Lodge, Tortilis Camp, Amboseli Serena Lodge and Ol Tukai Lodge, where you’ll enjoy manicured gardens, wonderful views of Mount Kilimanjaro, swimming pools and plenty of amenities. making your stay very comfortable and spiritually rewarding. But of course, if you are traveling on a budget, you can try the Namanga River Hotel, Campi ya Kazi or Nyati Safari Camp, all with nice tented camps erected under Acasia trees, giving you the benefit of the beautiful panoramic view of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Tsavo National Park offers a wide range of wildlife and birds within the dense vegetation, swamps, remarkable hills, volcanic caves and huge rocks. Here you will find tented camps with basic services such as running water, toilets, mosquito nets, bedding and sanitary facilities. Unlike in Amboseli, one will have to make arrangements for lunch and dinner at nearby lodges and hotels. However, some of them have luxury tents, but they are a bit more expensive to rent. There are good places where you can organize tent camps like Severin Safari Camp in Mombasa, Voyager Safari Camp at Zimani Gate, Finch Hatton’s Safari Camp located on the western side of Tsavo National Park, and Satao Camp on the shores. of the Voi river

This list would not be complete without a reference to the coastal city of Mombasa in Kenya. This city is home to the Simba Hills National Park where you can see elephants, antelope and zebras grazing in the grasslands, the sandy beaches of Malindi, the Watamu National Marine Park and the ancient city of Lamu. You are sure to enjoy the best tent camping at Makurumuji Tented Camping site in Simba Hills National Park, Shompole Camping site on Lake Magadi which offers a Jakuzzi to keep you cool from the warm breeze.

One thing about tent camping sites is the amount of backpack one has to carry, which is a bit cumbersome, but this should not undermine the benefits to be gained from tent camping sites. You will definitely be able to save a lot of money which you can invest in many ways such as eating in a five star hotel or buying ancient Masai underwear, traditional artifacts and the like. It should also be important to appreciate the fact that life in tent camps teaches you and makes you self-reliant. It is very interesting to see men and women who do not do any housework at all cleaning dishes while they are in the camps.
