I’m glad you like the blog, thank you for reading! For all Kenyan parks you don’t have to book the public campsites ahead of time. And usually, you can also book private camps from the gate. However, if you want to organize a booking, especially for the more exclusing (and expensive) private camps, you can contact KWS through their website or by calling: https://www.kws.go.ke/content/tsavo-east-national-park There is a website for each park.

The car is great! It is, however, our personal vehicle, not a rental. Renting a 4×4 in Kenya isn’t as easy as it is in Southern Africa. I have never done it, but I know a few people who have. You can check roadtripafrica.com, who rent vehicles in Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya – their vehicles will be higher mileage and have less equipment than vehicles people rent in Namibia/Botswana/etc. Or you can check Intu 4×4 (https://www.intu4x4.com/4×4-rentals/) who are newcomers to the market, but I know a few people who have rented from them and had a really good experience.

Was it easy to book camping sites / lodges within the park? The lodges are online but the camping sites are a little bit more hidden.

From the photos I noticed that your car looks great, may I ask you if you rented it somewhere and what is the name of the company you rented from? I am searching for an 4X4 tented car but it looks like in Kenya is not such an easy task.

Best wishes,

Thank you Walter, I appreciate the kind words. Still raining…

But we have had some nice dry spells too and it hasn’t been to much of a burden as it’s not the I’ll times daily showers that we had in Zambia for a bit.

As usual, very comprehensive and entertaining report. Immensely enjoyed the reading and your writing style.
I guess you are now much further North and possibly out of the seasonal rains..

Keep it coming
