SOLO TRAVEL KENYA

WHY TRAVELING IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL

It’s needless to say that travel broadens the mind, but what many neglect to realize is that traveling is also good for the soul. It is not just the novelty of the experience that enriches the soul. How we conduct ourselves when we travel, how we respond to unfamiliar situations and stimuli, and how we perceive and react to changes and discomfort, determine how we grow spiritually. Join our single safari and solo safari Pre-existing safari groups. Travel does not only let you tick items off your bucket list but also presents opportunities for you to evolve spiritually.

1. TRAVELING MAKES YOU SLOW DOWN AND PAUSE.

Imagine a day on your travels. You wake up late and have a laid-back breakfast before heading out for a day of sightseeing, exploration, spending time in nature, or shopping – all done at a leisurely pace of course. Or instead, you may choose to spend the whole day lounging on the beach, soaking up the sun, and staring at the waves. When you travel, you can slow down, pause for a second, and consciously notice what’s going on around you; allowing yourself to truly appreciate the beauty of life surrounding you. Slowing down is good for your harried nerves and frazzled mind and is absolutely a great way to relieve stress. Traveling also makes you realize that some of the most precious things in life should be savored slowly.

 

2. TRAVELING MAKES YOU STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE.

Traveling most definitely forces you to think outside the box. Whether you have to deal with delayed flights, or you were left stranded at the airport overnight, staying in a cramped hotel room with no hot water and plenty of bugs, trying to explain to the street vendor that you are a vegetarian in a language completely foreign to you – traveling can be challenging… but challenging is great for the soul! There will be food that does not agree with you, but you can handle it; or inconsiderate and rude co-travelers who make life difficult for you, but they will only make your tolerance for others stronger. Traveling will make you step out of your comfort zone and compel you to get used to different tastes, people, and situations that would usually make you cringe back home. Learning to adapt to unfamiliar realities and discomfort stretches your mind and gives you the mental workout that was missing from your previous day-to-day routine. Becoming more adaptable and tolerant will only strengthen your soul.

 

3. TRAVELING TEACHES YOU TO EMBRACE CHANGE AND ACCEPT UNCERTAINTY.

Nothing is constant when you are away from home and hopping from one place to the other. The scenes change, the people change – their behavior, their language, their culture, and customs are constantly changing as you continue along your journey. When you travel, you never know what you’ll find once you turn the corner. As much as you think you can plan, there will always be bumps along the way. When you travel, you are in unfamiliar territory. Embrace uncertainty, let go of control and enjoy the excitement, freedom from worries, and peace of mind it brings you. Uncertainty is most certain when you travel; embrace it and enjoy the trip. Carry this attitude back home, and go through life expecting nothing to remain the same. Embrace uncertainty and accept change, and be more at peace with yourself than ever before.

 

4. TRAVELING TEACHES YOU TO BE MINDFUL.

But only if you choose to be. Mindfulness is being able to concentrate on and be fully aware of what is going on in the present moment with a non-judgmental attitude. You do not attach a “good” or a “bad” tag to the experience. You take part in life as it unfolds around you without worrying about outcomes. Being mindful while traveling means enjoying the sights and sounds without worrying about the emails lying unread in your inbox. Being a mindful traveler means you appreciate where you are without comparing it—favorably or unfavorably—to what you’re used to back home. Mindfulness traveling lets you discover hidden joys and simple pleasures that otherwise remain hidden from view when you look with judgemental eyes and compare them with prejudiced views. It might be worth it to start practicing mindful meditation regularly to prepare your mind and spirit for a mindful travel experience. One of my favorite training videos is this one – a 20-minute guided mindfulness meditation practice.

 

5. TRAVELING TEACHES YOU GRATITUDE.

There is something about being on the road and hopping from one exciting place to the other that loosens our inhibitions and unveils our true essence. (Or do we open up because we are not stressing over deadlines to meet and bills to pay?) Whatever the reason, traveling helps you appreciate the present moment; it fills you with gratitude. Traveling is a balm for the jaded soul that had so long been accustomed to listening to the demands of the ego. When you travel, you open your heart to strangers and new experiences. You learn to accept change and be at peace when things are not delivered and made to order. Traveling gives you new insights and alters your perspective. Traveling is always an enlightening and spiritually uplifting experience.

 

6. MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT TEACHES YOU TO LIVE IN THE NOW.

As important as it is to plan for the future, no one knows what will happen next week, tomorrow, or even ten minutes from now. Traveling embeds in us the fundamentals of living for the moment and not taking life for granted. It teaches us to say yes more often and not be afraid of what others might think. When you are on the road, every second of every day is a new journey, so you must take advantage of this opportunity and seize the day! Forget about being late to work, if you are late for your bus, there is always a next one – besides you never know what experiences await you while you’re stuck in a small town waiting. I realize that traveling may seem out of reach and even impossible to some. But it doesn’t have to be. There are always sacrifices that can be made to get there. If you feel like you are overwhelmed with the stress of day-to-day life or that your mind and body are miles away from your soul, it may be time for your next trip – even if it’s just to the closest town, beach, or park. So what are you waiting for? Go! Go! Go!

Helpful and considerate arrangements by Best Camping. Imraan and his staff were helpful and considerate with all the arrangements for our large group that had travelled from India. This includes any last minute changes that sometime happens when you are a large group. We all sincerely thank you Best Camping for making our safaris in Masai Mara memorable and enjoyable.

Mesmerizing Tour I am a wildlife enthusiast and i keep on traveling. It was one of the best experiences I had with BEST CAMPING TOURS & SAFARIS. The staff especially Micheal ,Mohammed & Perer were fantastic in taking care of us in an unknown territory. We appreciate their personalized care and efforts to show best possible wildlife experiences. The camp site was in the middle of the forest which gave us unique experience and saved traveling time to reach to happening areas. As far as food is concerned, Chef Tony never let us feel that we are outside India. I was overall a mesmerizing experience which we will definitely would like to repeat in future. Special thanks to Micheal for his efforts to find out names of different birds and responding to our all sorts of stupid questions during the safari.

Tout était parfait Un voyage incroyable, un séjour fait sur mesure. Notre guide Rafael a été encore plus haut que nos attentes, un guide hors pair qui nous a permis de voir absolument tous les animaux que l'on pouvait voir dans la savane. Sa gentillesse et son expertise ont rendu notre séjour inoubliable. Je recommande Best camping les yeux fermés

Maasai Mara safari A year later from our last trip and Imraan and his drivers have once again delivered a first rate experience. We stayed at Fig Tree camp and as usual the staff there are exceptional. All the big 5 seen and our driver was very receptive to our needs as a family. With Best camping you have the addition of Imraan’s personal touches. He will accommodate your needs for the journey. Read up on the area before you go and Best Camping will ensure you explore lesser visited areas of the park and discover some hidden gems.

Amazing!! Amazing experience at Masai Mara! Best Camping efficiently catered to our needs so we were able to combine staying at the campsite with one night at a luxury tented camp. The whole team was friendly and welcoming. Staff at the campsite made fresh delicious meals for us each day. Our jeep driver was knowledgeable and made sure we were able to see lots of animals during our game drives. They even sorted our accommodation in Nairobi as well as airport transfers. Exceptional service indeed!

Extremely overwhelmed by the experience we had with Best Camping tours .we were well taken care of during our stay . Really appreciate Imran’s prompt responses to address our queries and concerns not only during our stay there but right from the time we decided to plan for this trip . He was always in touch with us and we were assisted at every step whenever required which made us feel ‘ a home away from home’ . Friendly and well experienced guide who was with us throughout our stay at Masai Mara camp, made us feel comfortable through his friendly and understanding behavior. All over great experience and I strongly recommend Best Camping tours to all those who are looking forward for a visit to Kenya .. Thank you Best Camps for your remarkable services !!!

I did a 8 day safari, and could not reinstate how happy I am that I chose Best Camping Tours and Safari. I wanted to do a trip around Kenya that provided me with the most local experience, alongside being able to witness as much of the country as we could throughout our holiday. Imran was always available over call, and listened to what we wanted out of our trip and organised a personalised experience that exceeded our expectations – Imran helped us on a scale beyond the scope that we would have expected from him, including preparation for the trip. We went across Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Elementaita and Amboseli (before ending the safari and exploring Mombasa, which Imran also kindly helped with). Mo accompanied us on the trip across the 4 reserves – I was very impressed by his knowledge of each national reserve, which was clear as we drove through. His expertise in the national reserves provided us with the opportunity to see the big 5 (which is very rare), alongside breath-taking views of 5+ cheetahs. Mo’s expertise enriched our overall experience significantly. Each accommodation (including the unique experience provided at the local Masai Mara site) was fantastic, and truly made this one of the best trips of my life. I could not recommend Best Camping Tours and Safari further, if you would like a safe, reliable experience of Kenya with local coverage to make the most out of each natural reserve.

5 stars isn't enough for the level of service that Imraan provides. Right from booking he was there for any questions, making sure we had everything worked out and even making suggestions we hadn't thought of. The tour he arranged for Masai Mara was amazing and our driver Ben was equally great! He always seemed to know where to stop for the best view and it didn't matter how long we did or didn't want to watch or take pictures. Sometimes you meet someone for business and when you're done, that's the end of it and then sometimes you're lucky enough to do business with someone you consider a friend...and that's Imraan and the rest of his crew!

Just finished a 9 day tour with Best Camping tours....our experience was phenomenal. Everything was well taken care of. Our driver knew a lot about the Amborsili and Masai Mara parks and the jungle and that was a great help in spotting the animals. The owner Imraan takes personal care of all your needs and that reflects in his staff too. All in all, an unforgettable experience .

I am so glad that my daughter and I chose Best Camping. We have had the most fantastic time. Everything went smoothly every step of the way. Imraan is a wonderful, kind and professional organiser who truly went out of his way to give us an outstanding experience and unforgettable memories. He arranged 7 days of safaris for us from Tsavo West to Amboseli to Lake Naivasha and on to the Masai Mara, as well as numerous transfers, both in Mombasa and Nairobi. The accommodation he recommended (with options to upgrade if we wanted) was perfect: Kilaguni Serena (Tsavo), Sentrim (Amboseli), Sopa (Naivasha) and finally, my favourite, Olgatuni Camp (Masai Mara). Our driver, Marco, was truly excellent and looked after us so well. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and environment and I really enjoyed talking with him about Kenyan culture. Pricewise, I was delighted by what Imraan offered us. Our budget was relatively limited, but everything was of a very high standard and I could not have wished for more. I had done a lot of research before booking and seen the huge variety of prices, services and accommodation proposed. Imraan's suggestions suited us perfectly, and what really convinced me was his quick communication, his friendly, helpful attitude, his extensive knowledge and his understanding of our needs. I recommend Best Camping wholeheartedly,  whether you are first time visitors to Africa or have already travelled around this wonderful continent. Finally, I want to thank Imraan and his wife, and Marco, for making our visit so marvellous.
