Hemingways Hotel

A stay at Hemingways is the ultimate way to ease into East Africa. On the serene outskirts of Nairobi, this five-star all-suite retreat is well out of the city bustle, but remains perfectly placed as a springboard for your safari adventure. Its chic, plantation-style rooms are bright, light and airy, with private balconies gazing over the lush gardens to the dreamy Ngong Hills – ideal for relaxing after a long flight.

Alternatively, unwind in the spa, dip in the pool or sit back with a cuppa made exactly as you like it – your dedicated butler will ensure everything is just so. Meals are a delight: perfectly created fusion cuisine, light bites and hearty breakfasts, served in the classy brasserie or out in the terrace. Those feeling adventurous can explore beyond – get up-close to the residents of the nearby Giraffe Centre or the David Sheldrick elephant orphanage. Or simply settle in with a cocktail at Hemingways Bar.

Tortilis Camp Amboseli

Imagine waking up in an exquisite tent in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro. Unlike most Amboseli lodges, which are in the middle of the park, Gold Eco-rated, 100% solar powered Elewana Tortilis Camp is set away from the rest, on the pristine southwest border, with the best mountain views and full access to both Amboseli and an exclusive private conservancy, where game walks, bush breakfasts and off-road driving are allowed. The camp has also been key in developing community-owned conservancies, where land outside national parks is secured for wildlife preservation. That’s beneficial for animals and local people, and for wonderful wildlife-watching too – encounters here tend to be higher quality, more frequent, more electrifying. Game drives will likely find enormous herds of elephant as well as hyena, lion and cheetah, while thrilling Maasai-led walking safaris reveal delightful details and a different perspective on the bush.

Best-of-both location in an exclusive conservancy, on the edge of Amboseli National Park
Jaw-dropping wildlife encounters, including huge elephant herds

Loisaba Tented Camp

Perched on the edge of an escarpment, with unhindered views over the rolling valleys and open plains to Mt Kenya, intimate Loisaba Tented Camp is a design triumph and a hub for cutting-edge conservation.

At the heart of a huge conservancy, owned by the Loisaba Community Trust, the camp is a delight: stylish tents with floor-to-ceiling windows, enveloped by this remarkable wilderness. From here, a range of activities is possible. Game drives are breathtaking – this region is one of only a few places in Africa where wildlife numbers are actually on the rise; everything from the Big Five to rare wild dog might be spotted. There are also chances to head out on horseback or camel – an exhilarating way to get unusually close to wild animals; to go for a bush walk or run with a Samburu guide; to take exhilarating mountain-bike rides; or to meet the anti-poaching team to find out how they safeguard this exceptional place.

Sand River Masai Mara

The exclusive Sand River Masai Mara Camp, hidden far away from other lodges in the Masai Mara National Reserve, is big on game, big on glamour.

Exuding 1920s elegance – the classic era of African adventure – it was named one of the 50 Best Resorts in the World in the 2020 Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards. Its handful of secluded tents are utterly luxuriant, with period furnishings, net-draped four-posters and matchless wilderness locations – animals can be spotted right from the veranda.

Indeed, the camp, which overlooks its namesake river, sits right on the route of the annual Great Migration. Large numbers of wildebeest and zebra can be spotted roaming through the camp. And, of course, game drives are extraordinary: nowhere in Africa is wildlife more abundant than on the surrounding acacia-dotted plains – the Big Five, and a supporting cast of thousands, are regularly seen.

Right on the route of the Great Migration
Lavish 1920s style camp – movie-star glamour in the bush
Exquisite tented suites, where wildlife can be spotted right from the veranda
Exclusive location, tucked away from other lodges in the Masai Mara
An abundance of game year-round

Serengeti Pioneer Camp

Low-impact, high style – that’s Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp. Sitting atop a rocky outcrop, gazing across the infinite plains of the south-central Serengeti, this classy retreat blends seamlessly into its surroundings. Tents, tucked into the bush, have a romantic 1930s vibe but with all mod-cons, from steaming-hot solar-heated showers to personal attendants. Better, they have unfettered access to the wilderness on the doorstep: to Moru Kopjes, a site sacred to the Maasai and home to ancient rock art; to Lake Magadi, a soda lake that attracts a blushing flamboyance of flamingos; and the sweeping grasslands where, come January-March, some 400,000 wildebeest calves are born, attracting huge numbers of predators. The wildlife-watching here is spectacular, and the camp’s specially permitted hill-top picnic site is the icing on the cake.

Sublime spot in the central Serengeti
Pioneer-luxe tents, deep in the bush
Excellent wildlife-watching year-round, plus spectacular wildebeest calving in season
Top-class Maasai guides and rock art sites
Exclusive access to the best picnic spot

Serengeti Migration Camp

The Elewana Serengeti Migration Camp sits in a secluded section of the national park – but it’s also right in the heart of the action. Nestled on the banks of the Grumeti River, which is chockfull of chortling hippos, it’s on the path of the annual Great Migration: from April to July/August and again from November to December, the surrounding plains are ribboned with wildebeest. The camp’s opulent stilted tents, expansive lounge, dining room and sunset lookout have all been positioned so you can dine, drink and relax with wonderful views over the wilderness. And while game drives from here are second to none – there’s the chance to see everything from the Big 5 to over 500 species of birds.

The Manor at Ngorongoro

The Manor at Ngorongoro combines a dash of opulence with easy access to the ‘eighth wonder of the world’.

Set amid glorious gardens and lush coffee fields in the Tanzanian highlands, it oozes old world glamour: think polished-wood floors and antique furnishings, fine dining, billiards and cigars.

Each of its elegant Cape Dutch-styled cottages has a private deck, sitting room, open fire and enormous Victorian bath, which will be ready-filled with bubbles, awaiting your return from the day’s adventure. It’s the sort of place you could spend days, taking high tea on the lawn, indulging in the spa or exploring the hills on horseback. But you’ll want to delve into nearby Ngorongoro Crater too. With our special permission to host bush lunches in a private area, away from the crowds, you can picnic in exclusive style without missing a wildlife-packed minute.

Best-of-both location in a private conservancy bordering Tarangire National Park
Magical ‘treehouse’ suites
Well-frequented waterhole, right in front of the lodge bar
