Mobile Camping A&K Style

Abercrombie & Kent continues to redefine the original tented safari with modern-day advantages, all the while staying true to the romantic ambience of the days of Blixen, Hemingway and Roosevelt. Mobile Camping, A&K style, is the most authentic form of safari, a true immersion into the sights and sounds of the bush.

Return from an exhilarating day in the bush to a spacious, veranda-fronted tent furnished in a blend of African and colonial European styles. Hand-woven cushions and Egyptian cotton sheets cover a large, comfortable bed. Each tent is equipped with fully flushing ceramic toilet, washbasin and shower. Arched, netted windows allow the breeze to pass through. On your veranda, two director’s chairs and a butler table provide the perfect vantage point for sunrises, sunsets or sundowners.

Meals in the bush are also an event. Enjoy fine cuisine prepared with the freshest ingredients by your specially trained cook and served by an attentive staff in a large, candlelit dining tent. Savor a favorite wine or cocktail (on ice) from a fully stocked bar. Then, retire to a comfortable lounge chair by a roaring campfire.

At camp, two staff members for every guest ensure attentive service that is personalized yet unobtrusive. Your laundry is delivered to your tent, clean and freshly pressed. When you're ready for a shower, your tent attendant brings you water — warmed to the perfect temperature. While you're at dinner, your tent attendant turns down your bed, draws the mosquito net and slips a hot water bottle beneath your duvet on chilly nights.

The professional guide who accompanies you is one of the most important factors in the success of your journey. Every A&K Kenyan guide has attained a bronze or silver certification by the Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association. Behind the scenes, your safari guide chooses campsites, locates wildlife and keeps a seasoned eye on all the workings of camp life. On safari, their love for local cultures, animal and birdlife is unmistakable.

Mobile camping places you right in the heart of Africa's beauty. Our longstanding reputation and history as the most respected safari outfitter in Africa gives us privileged access to private camping concessions in East Africa’s most beautiful and wildliferich territories. We maintain our own fleet of custom-built Land Cruisers and train our drivers ourselves — no other safari company in East Africa does this. When you take to the plains in our safari vehicles, you are guaranteed a window seat.

Responsible tourism has always been of the highest importance. Everything that comes with us leaves with us, and we take nothing from the land but memories. In addition, we work hand-in-hand with local tribes and villages, funding schools and clinics while providing opportunities for employment.
