Kenya Royal Safari:
A safari of distinction, fit for royalty, following a classic route through some of Kenya's finest game reserves. Flights to and from the Masai Mara make short work
of the long distances, whilst accommodation is in exclusive lodges in outstanding locations.
One night may be spent at the uniquely-shaped tree lodge, The Ark, designed with decks from which balconies provide superb vantage points for viewing the
animals visiting the salt lick and water hole.
In Samburu, accommodation is in a brand new camp, Ashnil Samburu Camp. In a perfect position on the river bank this a wonderful choice for a stay in Kenya.
The camp is home to just 24 luxury tents, all circular, and carefully spread throughout the lush grounds.
Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club offers 115 rooms and provides a wonderful base for a short stay with activities including swimming, walking and horse-riding.
The restaurant here offers an excellent variety of cuisine.
Fairmont Mara Safari Club sits on an ox-bow bend in the River Mara. All 50 en suite tents have views of the hippo-filled river.
