About Karisia Rapa Camp

Karisia Rapa Camp is set on the edge of a grassy glade, offering views into the olive and croton forest. It is the perfect place to relax and watch the forest birds fly by.

At the southern end of the glade, you'll find wells dug by the Samburu people, used for many years to water their livestock. These wells, known as "singing wells," are a vital resource during the dry season, where livestock drink from troughs at the wells' edge.

In the evenings, wildlife emerges onto the glade, and the birdlife throughout the day is spectacular. The Karisia Hills are home to Crowned Eagles, which can often be seen soaring above the canopy.

At an altitude of 6,000 feet, it gets cool at night with chilly mornings, providing a refreshing contrast to the daytime warmth.

Accommodation Options

Karisia Classic Walking Safari
Our Classic Walking Safaris with Camels offers a touch of extravagance to this already magical safari. Enjoy walking through this wilderness area with your armed guide, tracker and riding camels. You guide will focus on your interests pointing out hidden gems. The camels accompany you for your walk, carry refreshments and can be ridden at times. Your entire camp is moved daily by your Laikipia Masai and Samburu team and a caravan of 10 - 25 sturdy camels. Accommodation is a spacious traditional, canvas tent with a chair, table, mirror, drinking water and a basin on the veranda. Bedding includes 2 feather pillows, luxurious sheets, duvets as well as dressing gowns, towels, hot water bottles, solar lights and carpets. Bucket showers come with a good supply of hot water and each tent has it own toilet behind the tent. We can create a family unit by joining two tents together and we can also include camp beds. Delicious meals are prepared each day with locally sourced produce and we cater to any dietary request. We include a selection of luxury beers, wines and spirits.
