The Furrowed Elephant is a practical field guide to bush camping in Kenya — written from the road, the ridge, and the long way 'round, with insights on routes, campsites, and slow drives through national parks, conservancies, and other Kenyan wild landscapes.

For some basics, read this field guide, lace up your shoes, and go.
