Situated at the eastern periphery of a wide plain, Tumaren looks westward toward a series of granitic kopjes that define eastern Laikipia. In the foreground, you might expect to see Giraffe, Oryx, Grevy's Zebra and other plains game that seek the safety of the open grassland.
This luxury tented camp was originally the home of Kerry and James (owners of Karisia Walking Safaris) and it has 6 beautiful sleeping tents, solar lighting and running water. Each tent can fit a family of 4 if needed or else kept as a double / twin. Guests staying here do walks, camel rides, picnics, go rock climbing and game viewing from the camp and come back to the camp each day. This camp does not move location.
