Karisia Walking Safaris & Tumaren Camp offer distinct safari experiences in Kenya’s Laikipia region. Founded by Kerry Glen and James Christian, both with deep ties to the area’s wildlife heritage, the company blends a passion for conservation with a commitment to immersive travel.
Tumaren Camp serves as a luxury, fixed camp, providing modern comforts amidst the wild. Guests can enjoy spacious tents, ensuite bathrooms, and expansive views. The camp offers activities like game drives and guided walks, allowing guests to encounter Laikipia’s diverse wildlife, including elephants and endangered species like the Grevy’s zebra.
In contrast, Karisia Walking Safaris focuses on mobile, adventurous safaris. These involve trekking on foot, accompanied by camels carrying supplies, enabling access to remote, untouched locations. The simple yet comfortable mobile camps set up in different scenic spots highlight the region’s natural beauty and cultural history. This approach offers a closer connection to nature and an opportunity to observe wildlife intimately.
Both Karisia Walking Safaris & Tumaren Camp emphasize sustainable tourism and community involvement. The company employs local community members, supports conservation efforts, and manages Tumaren Ranch as a protected area. These initiatives contribute to local employment, protect wildlife, and enhance the overall ecological health of the region.
This combination of luxury and adventure, paired with a strong conservation ethic, positions Karisia Walking Safaris & Tumaren Camp as unique and respected options for travelers seeking both comfort and authentic, eco-friendly experiences in Kenya
