An Elephant Watch Safari
If you're passionate about ethical travel or diving deep into understanding wild creatures, an Elephant Watch Safari is the best place to start.
From the comfort of your home in the wild at the luxurious Elephant Watch Camp in north Kenya, we offer a conservation-led safari experience with high social impact that engages in the most authentic way with traditional nomadic cultures and specialises in expert encounters with elephants.
Our warrior-ambassadors from the local community open the gateway to one of Kenya's last great wildernesses, introducing our guests in the gentlest way to the 1000+ wild elephants that roam freely across this vast landscape. Drawing on their nomadic expertise, our guides bring a wealth of knowledge to the table and a profound understanding of animal behaviour.
Akin to meeting mountain gorillas or humpback whales, we promise one of the most unique and blissful experiences of a lifetime.
The elephant season starts mid May and runs through to the end of October when Camp closes briefly during the rains to freshen up for the holiday season. We reopen again in the first week of December, as the elephants sail back into the park in their hundreds to socialise.
With a fresh green landscape bursting full of plentiful food, you'll watch newborn calves fumble through their first steps and mighty bulls in musth prepare to fight for the right to mate.
As the land dries up, the elephant families begin to drift apart until storm clouds build again in the sky, announcing the coming of the long rains at the end of March. We close at the first downpour, when the elephants scatter, until the start of May when the cycle starts again!
