There is something truly special about leaving your 4×4 behind and setting out on foot to explore the bush and discover all its inhabitants. Without the hum of the engine and the roar of the exhaust, your ears sharpened, your eyes refined \u2013 and your heart rate probably a little bit faster! In Kenya<\/a>, walking safaris are prohibited in many of the national parks and reserves, but dig a little bit deeper and you\u2019ll find some of the best treks on the continent, with a range of encyclopaedic guides. Here, we\u2019ve got the lowdown on the only Kenya walking safaris you\u2019ll ever need to know about (in our humble opinion).<\/p>\n

\"Kenya<\/a>
\nNaboisho Camp<\/h2>\n

Greater Masai Mara<\/em><\/p>\n

Naboisho Camp<\/a> is the kind of place that you arrive at and everything instantly feels better. There are big smiles all round, the kind of food you\u2019d expect your (very well trained) Grandma to cook, and enormous bedroom tents, decked out in a variety of peaceful colours and soothing fabrics to relax in. Then, once you’ve settled, try one of their famous walking safaris. The camp is in the pristine Naboisho Conservancy, an area free from the rules and regulations of the neighbouring Masai Mara<\/a>, and the walking safaris are wild, fun and, sometimes, a little bit adventurous. Led by Roelof Schutte and Lucas Ramah, you\u2019ll get up close and personal with giraffe, descend gorges of varying heights and learn everything there is to know about tracks, trails and turds. This is the real deal when it comes to Kenya<\/a> walking safaris\u2013 and it\u2019s truly excellent.<\/p>\n

Three or four nights at Naboisho Camp would work perfectly in our Classic Kenya bush and beach<\/a> trip \u2013 and do exactly as it says on the tin by enjoying some time at the beach too.<\/p>\n

\"Kenya<\/a>
\nSaruni Rhino Camp<\/h2>\n

Samburu<\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re quick off the mark, you may well be able to secure yourself a spot in one of the three bandas at the exclusive Saruni Rhino Camp<\/a> in Kenya\u2019s<\/a> northern frontier. The boutique camp is located in a private conservancy, Sera, a pioneering, community-owned sanctuary that\u2019s home to a lovely little group of black rhino who were introduced to bolster Kenya\u2019s rhino population and encourage visitors to make the trip up north. And that\u2019s where the walking safaris come in \u2013 but did we mention these aren\u2019t any old Kenya walking safaris? To set out on foot here is to embark on an exhilarating journey after the black rhino themselves. Accompanied by rangers using traditional tracking methods and with an intimate knowledge of each rhino on the conservancy, you\u2019ll track them on foot and (perhaps) get close enough to see every ear flick and feel every tail swish.<\/p>\n

Combine tracking black rhino on foot at Saruni Rhino with a few nights at sister camp Saruni Samburu<\/a> for a walking safari to remember. Try using our trip, The road less travelled<\/a>, as a starting point.<\/p>\n

\"Kenya<\/a>
\nLaikipia Wilderness Camp<\/h2>\n

Laikipia<\/em><\/p>\n

Some of the best Kenya<\/a> walking safaris actually involve no walking at all. Sounds weird? Well, you\u2019ll have to visit Laikipia Wilderness<\/a> to find out what we\u2019re talking about! Here, the guides have perfected the art of simply being. Of course, you\u2019ll spend a good few hours putting your walking boots to the test but in these hills and valleys, it\u2019s not about racing around or dashing here and there; instead, you\u2019ll find quiet spots to settle down in and absorb what\u2019s going on around you. Listen to the flutter of wings by the river, feel the vibrations from the grazing ellies ahead and allow nature to unfold around you. Now, that\u2019s what you get from a team with 25 years-experience in walking safaris behind them\u2026.<\/p>\n

Conservation, cats and walking safaris<\/a> incorporates a little bit of everything Kenya has to offer. It\u2019s one of our most-loved Kenya adventures and the perfect trip to add a stay at Laikipia Wilderness.<\/p>\n

\"Kenya<\/a><\/p>\n

Kicheche Valley Camp and Kicheche Bush Camp<\/h2>\n

Greater Masai Mara<\/em><\/p>\n

If you fancy a real stretch of the legs, then how about joining one of our favourite Kenya<\/a> walking safaris – Kicheche\u2019s magnificent, multi-day trekking adventure. Starting at the beautiful Valley Camp<\/a> in the Naboisho Conservancy, you\u2019ll wind your way on foot through thick acacia woodland and rolling plains, keeping your eyes peeled for game big and small. As darkness falls, you\u2019ll arrive at a fly camp on the western side of the conservancy, where it\u2019s drinks around the fire, home-cooked fare and an extraordinary night under the stars. In the morning, wake bright and early and head to the Bush Camp<\/a> in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy. You\u2019ll walk along the spectacular escarpment of Seketa Valley – with a few stops along the way to take in the small things that you can only see on foot, of course.<\/p>\n

To take advantage of this fly-camping adventure, you\u2019ll need to book at least four or five nights at Kicheche Valley Camp<\/a> and Kicheche Bush Camp<\/a> \u2013 simply add it to any of our Kenya trips and start planning!<\/p>\n

\"Kenya<\/a>
\nBorana Lodge<\/h2>\n

Laikipia<\/em><\/p>\n

Last but not least on our list of Kenya<\/a> walking safaris, it\u2019s the beautiful Borana Lodge<\/a>. Located in the heart of Borana Conservancy, staying here is as sustainable as it is exciting with all earnings going straight back into conservation. What better excuse, then, to get stuck into one of the excellent walking safaris?! And as ever, you\u2019re spoiled for choice if you fancy an on-foot exploration. Start your morning with a tranquil stroll through the conservancy and take advantage of the guides\u2019 extensive knowledge of the flora and fauna and the birds and the bees or, if you\u2019re feeling spritely, how about a morning run with the armed guards? In the afternoon, spend a few hours tracking the black rhino and reporting back to HQ, or take part in a darting or collaring exercise. Perhaps not a classic Kenya walking safari, but arguably an even better way to get your teeth into the bush and all it has to offer.<\/p>\n

Add a stay at Borana Lodge to our Conservation and Culture<\/a> trip and combine two of Kenya\u2019s most celebrated conservation areas that both happen to be home to some rather fabulous walking safaris.<\/p>\n
