All safaris and special programmes start from Mkuru camel camp, the headquarter of Mkuru camel safari situated in Mkuru Maasai village, on the North side of Mount Meru, 60 km far from Arusha town. You can reach Mkuru with 4-wheels vehicles by driving on a 14 km rough road crossing the Nairobi road.
On safari
The camp is entirely supplied by solar energy and rain water is collected during the rainy season into large tanks. The camp offers clean toilet and showers facilities, hot water, a dining area, hot meals and an outdoor fire place. There are two kinds of accommodations. Most visitors prefer the large safari tents mounted on wooden platforms, which are fully furnished with comfortable beds. For those who like roughing it, they will mount ground camping tents. Visitors can also bring their own tents
Accommodation on safari is full board in non-permanent tented camps set up every evening in the heart of Maasailand. The camels are primarily used to carry camp equipment, but there are riding camels, which accompany the walkers and can be ridden where the terrain allows. The camels also carry refreshments.
As the camp is carried entirely on camel back, please bear in mind that while every effort is made to provide a comfortable camp, strong adaptation spirit is needed.
The camps offer camping tents, mattresses, pillows, bed sheets and blankets, towels, chairs and tables, camping toilets and hot water showers. (Please select natural soaps in respect of natural environment).
