Found in the heart of the Samburu community of Ewaso Rongai is the Desert Rose Camel Trek. These ’ships of the desert’ allow a group of up to eight people to trek through this vast, arid area for a week or more.
Being in the desert, your day begins at first light when the sun seeps over the horizon and the first birds begin to call. After a light snack and tea, you prepare to walk with the first morning light, taking advantage of the cooler morning, whilst your camp is packed and loaded onto the rest of the camels.
Depending upon the temperatures, your fitness and your choice, activities in the next few hours vary. In the afternoon, as the camels forage, your camp is set up and the sleeping arrangements made. Rest and relax at the campsite, or perhaps walk to a nearby hill to watch the sunset, accompanied by a guide who enlightens you on the different aspects of his culture, sharing his world and perspective on life with you.
Depending on the water available that day, a hot shower is arranged before dinner, then savour dinner around the campfire as you share safari tales, thoughts and ideas. Sleeping under the star spangled sky, you’ll dream of the day’s sights and the next day’s procession through this stark, stunning beautiful land.
