Selenkay Adventure Camp, Selenkay Conservancy, Kenya

An all-inclusive 3 day / 2 night flying safari tour For those looking for a superb wildlife experience in Amboseli National Park on a budget, look no further than Selenkay Adventure Camp. This camp offers the same high-quality wildlife safari experience provided by the top-end safari camps, with game viewing in 4×4 safari vehicles escorted by top class Maasai guides and spotters in an exclusive wildlife conservancy far away from the tourist minibuses. However, this is at a hugely reduced price, achieved by staying in a more basic adventure camp, which is more like “real camping” instead of the luxury accommodation of the expensive up-market tented lodges. The camp can be reached from Nairobi by daily scheduled light aircraft flights from Wilson Airport Nairobi to the nearby Selenkay airstrip or Amboseli airstrip. While at camp all safari transport for game drives is in shared 4×4 open-sided safari vehicles with expert guides. Accommodation

• Accommodation is in small dome tents which accommodate 2 people (or can fit one child with 2 adults).  The tents are 6 ft high and 10ft x 10ft square and insect-proof.
