Top family camp just got better

Something which comes as a surprise to many is East Africa’s suitability as a family holiday destination. While safaris certainly can be designed with the thrill-seeking, strictly grown-up market in mind, the region also has its fair share of options to keep children safe, comfortable and entertained.

Lemarti’s Camp in Laikipia, Northern Kenya, has earned its place among our top favourites for family accommodation in East Africa. For those who seek an African adventure with the kids in tow, but who also want to experience the best in style and luxury, it’s hard to top.

And the good news is that this intimate wilderness camp has just completed renovations which will make it even more appealing to families – two brand new family suites are now available to guests. Each comprises a main tent, with a double and a single bed, a second tent which sleeps up to four, and a shared family bathroom.

Lemarti’s has already made its mark on the many families who have enjoyed its authentic delights. Far from merely offering distraction to children while parents can relax, the Samburu staff who run the camp provide young tourists with a genuine glimpse into their community life. Learning bushcrafts from local warriors and playing with the local children, kids invariably relish the chance to become absorbed in a culture so different from their own. And of course, what Western child would fail to be wowed by witnessing zebras and wild dogs in the African bush?

Lemarti's provides authentic cultural interaction
which both adults and children enjoy.

What makes Lemarti’s special is the sincerity and personality with which it is run. The situations in which visitors find themselves are not manufactured or contrived. So for adult and child alike, this camp presents a rare opportunity to enjoy a truly insightful experience which mass tourism can’t come close to matching.

The recent accommodation upgrade at Lemarti’s now endows it with the flexibility and capacity to welcome any family group in comfort – and helps complete the camp’s standing as an extraordinary family holiday destination.
