Esther’s comments on the 4 Camps:

• The four Camps are not fenced. Guests are escorted to their rooms by the security personnel.
• Children of all ages are allowed at all the properties.
• The food served during meals was very good.
• The Camps are ecofriendly with solar lighting.
• The Camps have both closed and open sided 4×4 Land Cruisers for guests to use. The closed Land Cruisers are used to transfer guests from Nairobi or other places to the conservancy. The
  open vehicles are only used inside the conservancy for game drives.
• The game drive experience at Naboisho Conservancy is great with a variety of wildlife including  cats to see.
• While in Naboisho, one can also do sundowners, bush breakfast, nature walks and cultural visits.
