Camping in Kenya

Naivasha — forget the volcanic dust — has become one of the convenient weekend getaway destinations, perhaps because it is only 45 minutes from Nairobi and it has turned out to be synonymous with campers. Camping is an outdoor experience that is slowly catching on with the urban youth who take drives to the nearest sites on weekends. According to Waruguru Gichuki of Downtreader Adventures, it is common to see people headed to Naivasha to camp every weekend.
