Top 3 Glamping Picks for the Camping-phobe

For people who hate camping, the images that are usually conjured up in relation to the activity include cold and wet or hot and sticky nights, smoky campfires, pesky mosquitoes and thin sleeping bags. However the age of glamping is upon us. The word, used to define luxury camping accommodation, is a play on the words glamorous camping. Today we feature some of our favourite glamping spots around Kenya while you enjoy to Tembea Kenya.
