Kenya and Tanzania: African Latitude Brings You Intimate and Authentic Experiences in Africa
African Latitude is East Africa’s original and premier operator of walking safaris and four wheel-drive camping expeditions. These safaris will take you into wilderness areas where few travelers venture. The reasons these areas are untouched is due largely to the complicated logistics in transport and accommodation when accessing these remote regions of undisputed beauty. These trips manage to bring travelers to these carefully-selected, remote areas with a high standard of transport and accommodation. For travelers who are interested in being immersed in the culture and the beauty of a foreign land, then these are the expeditions for you.
African Latitude has been organizing African expeditions since 1980, and established the East African operations in 1987. These camping safaris are lightweight as the goal is to reach some very difficult, “off the beaten path” places. Generally camp is moved every day. With African Latitude, camping does not mean “roughing it” and the trips include a very high standard of food and equipment.
Many of the trips offered by African Latitude are suitable for children from 8 years. In fact they have been tried and tested by our own children!
African Latitude offers different levels of camping experiences: Lightweight Adventure Camping, Comfort Camping and Comfort-plus Camping. Please click here (insert address) to learn more about the differences of each style of camping experience with African Latitude.
African Latitude strives to maintain an operation that has a minimum impact on the fragile natural and cultural environment of East Africa, and works to accomplish this by:
- Using natural resources efficiently
- Encouraging local communities to preserve their natural resources and cultural heritage
- Promoting an appreciation of our environment to staff and clients
Walking safaris have become more and more common in Africa. So what makes a walking safari with African Latitude different? Our operations reach areas which are logistically difficult to access and our walks are more oriented towards authentic cultural experiences than game tracking. We believe our experiences are truly unique and time and time again leave clients touched by the beauty of Africa and her people.
Not just anyone can organize an expedition into the African wilderness. African Latitude creates memorable, unique safaris because of the well- developed mutual respect and cooperation with the local communities in addition to over twenty years of experience running these expeditions.
