Karisia Walking Safaris
Karisia Walking Safaris has long been regarded as one of the leading walking safari experiences in Kenya. They have pioneered their incredible camel walks which offer a unique perspective for customers keen on an immersive and enriching wildlife experience.
With a newly updated ‘basecamp’ in Tumaren camp, offering a high level of comfort and luxury in the greenest ways possible, they are now able to offer more flexibility in their experiences from simple day walks from camp to their long-established, multi-point, extended camel walks. Karisia also offer a wonderful range of additional activities from their highly regarded climbing experiences to kids’ activities which include spear throwing lessons and local bead crafts.
Karisia Walking Safaris and The Tumaren Ranch demonstrate some of the best practises of eco-tourism with their on-going work to re-wild this beautiful corner of Laikipia alongside their fantastic efforts with their Community. Their Ewaso honey project is a fabulous example of this working with all neighbouring communities to create a micro business and supplementary income to many. Karisia are also among the largest employers for their immediate neighbours on the Olmotiok and Koija group ranches. Coupled with generous donations through Mango Safaris, Karisia pay for food that supplies all the 574 children in their local school – many of whom would otherwise go through the day un-nourished.
Their story and their journey has been remarkable and we are very proud to represent Karisia Walking Safaris, as one of Kenya’s eco-tourism jewels, to the world-wide travel trade.
