Pilates with Vic, Walking, Camels & Climbing !

There is no better way to improve mind and body than in a beautiful natural area like Tumaren, Laikipia. Atop mountainous Kopjes of granite surrounded by wildlife and beautiful landscapes we will work daily on our Pilates method. Our superhero instructor, is Victoria Kelmanson whose dedication to anatomy and physiology began with a university degree and culminated in her teaching Pilates trainers at the largest training program within Europe. Our safari is the perfect combination between wilderness, wildlife and fitness.

Let the adventure begin!

24th JANUARY

Meet in Nanyuki and in your private car, convoy for 2 hours to Tumaren camp. As the day begins to cool off we will head out on a short stroll looking for wildlife and back to camp for an evening session of Pilates by the glowing fire. We will have drinks and a lovely sit down dinner and head off to bed ready for the early morning.

25th JANUARY

We will be woken up early for Sunrise Pilates on the plains with views towards Mt Kenya and the giraffe and zebra coming in to the salt. After a light breakfast we will walk with the camels through the morning looking for wildlife and enjoying the scenery. The camels accompany us and can be ridden along the journey also they will bear our snacks and drinks for the walk. We will arrive back at Tumaren Camp in time for a refreshing swim and a healthy but delicious lunch as well as a well deserved rest or read after. At the waterhole in front of camp a steady flow of wildlife and birds visit, creating an enchanted entertainment.

In the afternoon we will drive to Losera Moru, an impressive rock kopje in front of Tumaren. For those who want to try their hand at rock climbing this is the perfect spot with a choice of easy to tricky climbs with Mt Kenya as the backdrop. For those who have exercised enough the drive and the views are well worth it and watching the sunset from the peak is also a choice activity, especially while spying for the Leopards and Striped Hyenas that call the rocks home.

26th JANUARY

Wake up to birdsong and Pilates by the pool with Giraffe, Impala and Zebra’s strolling by. For those wanting a walk after Pilates we can head out for an hour and come back for a brunch. Everyone will then set off before lunch. For those wanting to stay an extra day / night this is possible for an extra US$ 300 per person.
