Positioned at the western side of a wildlife-rich grassland this elegant tented camp was originally the home of Kerry Glen and James Christian, the owners of Karisia Walking Safaris. The camp overlooks a salt lick that attracts much of Laikipia’s large game. Tumaren Camp offers seven spacious sleeping tents thoughtfully equipped with convenient lighting, ensuite bathrooms, and modern flush toilets as well as expansive views of the country below and the animal visitors at the salt.

Tumaren is a place where you can immerse yourself in a variety of activities, from guided walks to leisurely camel rides and delightful picnics that connect you with Laikipia’s ecology and natural history . Guests can also indulge in top-rope rock climbing, visiting the local markets and schools and playing ultimate frisbee against our local team of primary school students. Wildlife enthusiasts and photographers can embark on exciting game drives or simply sit by the waterhole watching the animals coming in. For those wanting a little more there is a fantastic 20 metre pool facing the plains with wildlife usually sauntering past.

Every tent offers a nice couples' retreat with a plush double bed, while four of the tents can accommodate families or friends effortlessly as they have partitions and the option to add extra beds, creating a family house for up to four or even five members.

All of our Laikipia Masai and Samburu guides are local to the area and your private guide will tailor your stay to suit your interests.
