Choosing to go camping is the best option when planning a self-drive safari in Kenya, but before that, there are several things you should consider before choosing the rooftop tent you should go with on your self-drive camping safari in Kenya.
Comfort
Choosing to go for a camping safari is the cheapest and most budgeted way to explore Kenya but this doesn’t mean that you should compromise your right to enjoy a comfortable night. So when contacting the car rental company to book your 4×4 with a rooftop tent, make sure you make it clear to get a tent with a high-density foam mattress, which is comfortable. And also you will need a rooftop tent that is waterproof that can protect you from wind and heavy rain. So consider your comfort as a priority.
Space
The size of the rooftop tent is another thing to consider when choosing a tent to go with on a camping safari. The most common rooftop tents comfortably sleep 2 people and this is mostly preferred by couples also there those that sleep 4 people and these ones are also known as family rooftop tents. But in case you traveling in a group or family of 5 people and above consider hiring a car vehicle with at least 2 rooftop tents or you can also add a ground tent in case you have more than 5 people.
