By the Way: The possibility with both the Wildebeest and the King on b3
would be stalemate anyway.

For the Camels: the Checkmate positions are:

White King (a3 or b3), White Camel (b4 or d2) White Camel (a4, c4 or e2)
Black King a1
White's (b4 or d2)-Camel moved last, so before that move, the Camel was
on (c1, e3, e5, c7, a7, a3, c5, g3 or g1) (No a1 because of the Black
King).
Black moved Kb1-a1:
Position before that:
White King (a3 or b3), White Camel (c1, e3, e5, c7, a7, a3, c5, g3 or g1)
White Camel (a4, c4 or e2) Black King b1.
Blacks Kb1-a1 must be forced, so c1 must be covered by a Camel (The King
doesn't cover it). So there must be a Camel on b4, d4 or f2, but there
isn't. So no mate with King + two Camels against lone King.
