Camping is a form of outdoor recreation that involves spending time in the great outdoors, usually in a tent or other portable shelter. It can be done in a variety of settings, including national parks, campers, beaches, and forested areas.
A camping trip might offer additional ways to unwind and relax. You experience what it’s like to live in the bush, including sleeping under the stars, waking up to the sound of birdsong, and viewing some of Kenya’s most incredible animals. It is necessary to camp according to your preferred weather, whether in very hot weather or chilly weather, as camping can be done during different seasons.
Checklist of essentials for camping.
