There are some wonderful camps and lodges that you can stay at whilst on safari in Kenya, some of them are totally unique because of their location or the facilities that they offer.

Over the next weeks or so I would like to feature some of those that I personally would love to visit beginning with the wonderfully named “Elelphant Pepper Camp”.

Here’s the “official” description”:

"Situated right on the Northern Edge of the Maasai Mara reserve this 8-tented bush camp, is tucked away in a prime wildlife area. Surrounded by the Mara’s ubiquitous game, it’s a seasonal camp, which is taken down for a month or so in the rainy seasons.

Yesterday I mentioned the Mbalageti Serengeti, in Tanzania. Well, last saturday it was recommended by The Guardian newspaper as one of the ‘5 Best Migration Safaris‘.

Located off the beaten track in the Western Corridor of the Serengeti National Park, lying on top of the Mwaveni Hill, the Mbalageti Serengeti is one of the most exclusive safari living experiences. A stunning oasis in the wild for the discerning traveller, a place to enjoy comfort incorporated with nature and the best of Tanzanian hospitality.

On Mwamveni Hill, overlooking the Serengeti plains and the Mbalageti River it a stunning oasis in the wild for the discerning traveller, a place to enjoy comfort incorporated with nature and the best of Tanzanian hospitality.

How about this for a luxury safari?

Every now and then I come across a destination that just takes your breath away and yesterday I read** about a brand new luxury safari lodge in Tanzania in the heart of Tanzania’s Selous Game Reserve. The Kiba Point camp.

(Selous is the largest game park in Africa, an undisturbed 19,000 square mile chunk of rivers, lagoons and bush. It’s also one of the rare African parks to permit walking safaris).

Kiba Point visitors can hike from four stone-and-thatch cottages through dried up riverbeds to stalk elephants, crocs and any of the reserve’s other 400 native species without the distractions of four wheel drives. When the safari’s over you can cool off in a private plunge pool with a sundowner drink in hand!!

Kiba Point only books exclusively (a gropu of ten rents it out at once) at a cost of $5000 per night, all-inclusive for ten people.

Luxury, expensive - but sounds great!! For more details about bookings to Kiba Point please call us on Freephone 0808 1089 100

There are two new luxury lodges opening for 2008.

The Sabuk Lodge is perched on the high banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in the Northern Frontier District, overlooking the Laikipia Plateau and Samburu land. The lodge has six open-sided en-suite cottages, plus the new Eagle Cottage (family cottage), which consists of two bedrooms (both en-suite), an adjoining sitting room and its own private swimming pool. The lodge rooms and the cottage have fabulous views.

Opening in the summer Saruni Samburu will be a “design lodge” located close to Samburu National Reserve. Built on top of a spectacular viewpoint, its six rooms and large pool with overlook several waterholes.
