The Furrowed Elephant is a practical guide to bush camping in some of Kenya's best spots — written from the road with insights on routes, campsites, and slow drives through Kenya's wildlands.

Bush camping — or call it wild camping — is pitching a tent

in open spaces beyond fenced-in lodges and glam.

It’s self-reliance, low-impact, and shaped by wilderness and wildlife. 

For some basics, a field guide to lace up your shoes and go.
