Set near the site of the iconic final scene from Out of Africa, this intimate and romantic camp captures the spirit of 1920s Kenyan safaris. Overlooking the sweeping plains of the Maasai Mara, it lies directly along the route of the world-renowned Great Migration, when vast herds of wildebeest and zebra move north from Tanzania’s Serengeti in one of nature’s most extraordinary spectacles
Each day can begin in a variety of delightful ways: enjoying coffee in bed before heading out on an early-morning game drive at sunrise, setting off on a guided walk across the savannah followed by a surprise breakfast in the bush, or simply sleeping in and unwinding to the gentle sounds of the nearby river. Guests may also take part in birdwatching along the riverbanks, while knowledgeable guides share insights into local plants, birds, geology, and wildlife tracking—children can even make track casts to take home as keepsakes.
A highlight is the unforgettable hot-air balloon safari, where the basket rises quietly above the plains as herds graze below and giraffes and elephants look on. The experience ends with a champagne breakfast in the bush, a magical start to the day.
However you choose to spend your time, evenings are marked by gourmet dining and a nightcap around the campfire, exchanging stories beneath a vast, star-filled African sky
