The Camp and People who will look after you
Home for the duration of the safari is a collection of classic, green canvas tents located in each of a series of lovely places. The guest tents are light enough to be moved on camels, but roomy enough to accommodate two people. We provide high density foam, canvas-covered mattresses rather than camp beds. A shower tent and long drop latrine make living in the bush comfortable.
Life in camp centres around a big open fire, except when rain or the midday sun cause a retreat to the spacious canopy pitched nearby. Henry, our camp cook, and veteran of more than twenty years on El Karama has his cook tent and fire nearby, from which come a succession of delicious meals.
Some of the camps are situated near a ranch corral or boma, in which case the horses and camels sleep in these. At other sites the horses sleep picketed to a rope stretched between trees in the middle of camp, and the camels sleep tied down near their handlers' tent. In either case the animals and the men who look after them are very much a part of camp life.
