Arrival and transfer to your Hotel

Upon landing at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, our representative will warmly welcome you and transfer you to Kariminu River camp which is located about 45mins away from Airport on your safari route to avoid back tracking.
The camp is located along Kariminu River creating a very calm atmosphere where you will only hear birds singing and the flowing waters. This gives you a very calm night to rest in preparation for the safari ahead. If you are a bird enthusiast, you will have several to tick from your checklist. You are also likely to spot a crested porcupine.
