More than 500km north of Kenya’s capital Nairobi, the village of Karare is set within the county of Marsabit. The vast expanse of dense bushland and desert, dotted with extinct volcanic craters is home to many species of animals and different tribes including larger pastoralist communities of Samburu, Rendille and Turkana.
The largest, Bongole Crater a circumference of 10 kilometres. A truly beautiful setting to observe sunrise, the crater is home to baboons, rock hyrax and herds of huge, tusked elephants. Nearby are the Singing Wells, a shared watering point for wild and domestic animals. A valuable source of water, herdsmen sing to their livestock as they fill water troughs from deep natural springs.
Lenaa Camp is housed within 17 acres of dense bush. The protective fence provides safety from elephants, leopards and hyenas which traverse across the natural wilderness. Free from light pollution, the dark night skies are illuminated with the brilliance of stars and moon. Evening campfires provide a wonderful setting to listen out for animals and stargazing.
