More DetailsNdere Island Campsite – Kenya
Tucked away on a tranquil 4.2 km² island in the northern reaches of Lake Victoria, Ndere Island National Park is truly a “meeting place” — as its Luo-name suggests — for nature lovers, bird watchers and campers seeking calm.
Here, the public campsite at Bao Beach provides the simple comforts you need — access to water, basic toilet and kitchen facilities — while leaving you fully immersed in wild surroundings. In the early morning you might watch hippos emerge from the shoreline, zebras grazing in short grass, or catch sight of an African fish eagle wheeling overhead.
Set your tent against the backdrop of gently undulating hills that turn a soft copper colour at dusk. Venture out on foot or by boat: explore forested slopes, wander by lake edge reeds, or drift quietly across the water for a different perspective. As night falls, gather by the campfire and let the stillness around you deepen — without city lights, the stars shine brighter and the air feels fuller with the sounds of wild nature.
Getting there is part of the adventure: from Kisumu a short boat ride brings you to the island’s shoreline, where you’ll step out of daily life and into a simpler, more elemental experience. Whether you’re a solo traveller looking for solitude, a couple seeking a unique getaway, or an eco-aware group ready to camp lightly — this is Kenya’s serene lakeside escape.
Red Chilli Campsite – Uganda
Set in the heart of Murchison Falls National Park near the Paraa ferry crossing, Red Chilli Rest Camp offers budget-friendly accommodation that doesn’t compromise on wild adventure. Just 500 metres from where the vehicles cross the Nile, this camp gives you immediate access to morning game drives, river cruises and the thunderous plunge of the falls
Choose your stay among furnished safari tents, rustic bandas or your own pitched tent — with modern showers, a shared kitchen area, security lighting and a vibrant communal bar and restaurant under a large thatched roof overlooking the Nile.
By day, you might glimpse warthogs or hippos grazing just outside your doorstep. By night, gather around the bonfire, listen to the river rush and gaze at the stars far from city lights. Affordable, untamed and intimate, Red Chilli invites you to live “in the bush” in style that’s simple but satisfying.
Simba Campsite – Tanzania
Simba Campsite sits on the southern edge of the Ngorongoro Crater, offering travellers a front-row view of one of Africa’s most famous natural wonders. The campsite combines essential comfort with an authentic bush atmosphere — basic facilities such as wood-heated showers, clean toilets, dining shelters, and a communal fire-pit ensure you stay warm and comfortable in the cool highland nights.
From your tent, you can watch mist drift over the crater at sunrise or listen to the distant calls of wildlife echoing through the valley. Zebras, buffaloes, and even elephants often wander close by, adding a touch of raw adventure to the experience. Ideal for nature lovers and safari enthusiasts, Simba Campsite delivers a truly immersive encounter with Tanzania’s wild heart.
Virunga Campsite – Uganda
Virunga Campsite lies just outside Kisoro town, behind the national parks office on Mutanda Road, making it an excellent base for visitors planning gorilla trekking expeditions into Bwindi or neighbouring Mgahinga Gorilla National Park
The site offers a spacious, well-maintained camping area, hot-water showers, clean toilets, a restaurant and bar, and secure parking—all within a relaxed, informal setting.
Wake with birdsong and mountain views, relax under forest shade during the day, then unwind around the campfire as night settles and forest sounds drift in. Whether you’re travelling self-drive or with a group, this friendly campsite delivers a genuine wilderness mood and simple comfort close to Uganda’s gorilla heartland.
