The Furrowed Elephant is a field journal and practical guide to bush tent camping in Kenya — written from the road, the campsite, and the long way round. These are real routes, real camps, and slow journeys through national parks, community land, and remote landscapes, traveling by 4x4 with a ground tent or rooftop tent.
What is bush camping?
Bush tent camping in Kenya includes "open" wild campsites and true wilderness travel. It is self-reliant, low-impact, and shaped by land access, wildlife, and local context. It isn’t glamping and it isn’t camping just anywhere.
