Once you have chosen the ideal site for camping in Kenya, you will need to obtain the necessary permits. Specific permits are required by certain parks and reserves. You should therefore contact the relevant bodies to find out about the procedures to be followed.

• The Kenya National Parks Service (KWS): issues permits for camping in protected areas.
• The Forest Management Authority (KFS): provides permits for camping in selected forests.
• Local councils: consent may be required in some community areas.
• Private landowners: permission must be obtained if you are looking for a more secluded experience.

During your stay, preserving the environment is paramount. Leave each site as you found it or better, helping to protect Kenya’s natural heritage and ensuring a warm welcome for future visitors.
