Laria and horses.

On El Karama we breed and train our own saddle horses. These animals, created from a mixture of Arab, thoroughbred and Somali bloodlines, are attractive, intelligent and friendly with build and stamina suited to the bush country.

They are a pleasure to ride, and are the best means of approaching wild animals closely without disturbing them. El Karama is also home to a small herd of camels who earn their living carrying supplies to the ranch outposts.

Camel carrying gear.

Gentle, eccentric, and aristocratic, these camels who originate from the environmentally harsh territories of the Turkana and Somali people, come along on our safaris to move the camp and to give a ride to anyone who feels like a change
