Popular Camel Race in Northern Kenya*

Camel rides are quite long. They take you through inhospitable and remote areas. So you may need to ride with your supplies and personal needs like beers, spirits and sodas that you may purchase before departing.

At the end of the trek, you gain a great appreciation of the challenges of nomadic life while feeling the great freedom of living in the wilderness.

You can even take a Camel ride on the beach**
