How to Plan a Weekend Camping Trip in Kenya

Timing is Everything

Planning a weekend trip requires efficiency.

Step 1: Choose a nearby location. Don't spend 6 hours driving for a 2-night trip. Look at places like Naivasha or Kajiado.

Step 2: Prep food at home. Chop veggies, marinate meats, and pack them in coolers. This saves huge amounts of time at camp.

Step 3: Leave early. Beat the Friday traffic out of Nairobi. Arriving and setting up camp in the dark is a rookie mistake.

Step 4: Keep it simple. The goal is to relax, not to execute a complex expedition.
