Public Campsite

Northern Kenya


This campsite, located behind the KWS headquarters, provides firewood and ablution facilities for those not wanting to camp more wildly at the special site within Marsabit National Park. The site is known as the Abdul Gate, though you cannot enter the park from here. You must pay for this campsite at the park's main gate (Ahmed Gate).
