Embark on an authentic Kenya safari adventure, experiencing world-class gameviewing whilst staying at some of the best camps and lodges in all of Africa.

Next, travel by light aircraft to Ol Donyo Lodge a Relais and Châteaux property in the beautiful Chyulu Hills, where huge bull tuskers still roam. Situated on an 111,000 hectare private ranch, enjoy 3 nights in a luxury suite complete with a rooftop ‘star bed’ and a private plunge-pool.

Complete your journey at the unparalleled Mara Plains Camp, set in the impressive Olare Motorogi Conservancy – right in the heart of big cat territory. Guests staying here help contribute to the ongoing success of the Masai Mara ecosystem, as well as helping to support over 1,000 Maasai families. The Conservancy boasts one of the lowest vehicle densities in the Maasai Mara region, whilst also having some of the highest numbers of big cats anywhere in Africa. Some 300 bird species have also been recorded here. Each suite boasts splendid interiors, with deep canvas canopied ceilings, as well as a large private verandah and in-suite dining facilities.
