Ekorian’s Mugie Camp is a private camp with an exclusive location on the Mugie Sanctuary in North Laikipia, where game and birdlife viewing is prolific. The camp is simply designed with a central mess area and six spacious but cosy tents, each en-suite with hot and cold running water and flush toilets under thatched roofs.
Ekorian’s Mugie Camp is a semi permanent camp. The owners, Josh and Donna, designed the camp with a small team of carpenters and tailors; with the notion to make as little impact on the environment as possible. The camp is solar powered, and has specially designed water heating boilers. Josh was able to put his carpentry skills into good use and much of the furniture was made in camp with the local dead olive wood –
which the Turkana name “Ekorian” derives.
Being in the heart of the Mugie Sanctuary brings days full off activities and excitement. From the comfort and safety of camp, one can enjoy frequent sightings of animals including elephant, giraffe, buffalo and more. The evenings also bring excitement in the form of four different owls in camp, as well as bush babies, lions roaring and hyenas laughing.
It’s fun to take on an early game drive before coming back to camp for a hearty breakfast and to see what the rest of the day has in store.
Experience the bush with a breakfast in the plains under the shade of an acacia, being transferred to and from the site by camel.
Kayak around the nearby river, maybe even passing elephants swimming and playing in the water as they escape the hot Kenyan sun.
Pay a visit and meet the students of the local school for girls and special-needs children, founded and supported by Mugie.
Sip a refreshing sundowner under Mugie's iconic acacia, known as the 'Sundowner Tree', as a herd of giraffes passes by - the perfect end to the day.
Make eye contact with wandering buffalo as you take a dip in the swimming pool overlooking the watering hole - the perfect spot for wildlife watching!
Head out with a guide to spot any of Mugie's incredible number of animals, including elephant, giraffe, buffalo and lion.
Go for a walk into the bush with your guide for a full sensory experience, from seeing insects to smelling the earth, hearing bird calls as you go.
Meet Tala - the giraffe who came to Mugie as an orphan and has become so attached that she pokes her head into the workshop and follows the sheep around.

I went on an adventure of a lifetime to Kenya, planned by True Travel. Borana was the perfect introduction to Africa – the staff were fantastic, the lodge very comfortable and I had amazing wildlife sightings. Then the helicopter flight and night out with Andrew (the real Crocodile Dundee) was an experience of a lifetime; we went scorpion hunting, crocodile catching, swimming in lakes and flew over flamingos. All in all, everything was fantastically planned and the service was brilliant. I’m looking forward to the next adventure!
