“When you have caught the rhythm of Africa, you find out that it is the same in all her music.”
― Karen Blixen, Out of Africa
And we’ll deliver you directly into this soul-stirring wilderness, not a minute wasted. Touch down in sight of snow-capped Kilimanjaro to wonder at Amboseli’s huge elephant herds roaming in the mountain’s shadow. Take off for Loisaba, where cutting-edge conservation helps preserve landscapes as dramatic as they are bio-diverse. Fly right to the matchless Masai Mara for arguably the finest game-viewing in the world.
Our carefully curated ultra-luxury air safari will deliver maximum variety and adventure in high style and efficiency. There’s no needless waiting or stops en route: you’ll be driven straight onto the strip to board the elegant private aircraft – which seats only eight passengers – to soar straight to your next exquisite home, deep in the wilderness of The Elewana Collection. That means more time tracking big cats on foot, learning bird calls, searching for the Big Five, and chinking G&T glasses as the sun sinks below the horizon.
Kenya’s capital and the tech hub of Africa, with a National park spread beneath its skyscrapers, Nairobi Is unique. We’ll whisk you away from the hubbub to Hemingway’s, a sumptuous haven of calm, built on an old coffee plantation at the foot of the Ngong Hills. It’s ideally placed for exploring – perhaps to feed the inmates at the Giraffe Centre, meet orphaned elephants at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, or visit the Karen Blixen Museum. Or you might simply feel like relaxing on-site, where you can wander the bird-filled gardens, dip in the pool, take afternoon tea on the terrace, or sip cocktails in Hemingway’s bar.
Amboseli is Africa at its most iconic. This vastness of open plains, swampland, thorn bush, and fever trees unfurls below snow-capped Kilimanjaro, the world’s highest freestanding peak, and an unrivaled safari backdrop.
And what a safari: part of a two-million-acre ecosystem, crossing from Kenya into Tanzania, Amboseli is one of the best wildlife-viewing locations. Most notable are its 100-strong herds of elephants – including big old tuskers – but other species are abundant too, from buffalo and hyena to lion and cheetah as well as over 600 types of birds.
The thatched opulent tents of Elewana Tortilis Camp, your Amboseli base, nestled in a private conservancy, gazing across at Kilimanjaro. An ecotourism award winner, Tortilis delivers high comfort with a low environmental impact. It also employs some of the best guides in the business, who will reveal both Amboseli’s star attractions and its minute, magical details.
Have your alarm set for an early morning game drive. This is when the plains stir, the animals are most active, and the big cats return from a night of hunting. These are also the golden hours for photographers, as dawn light rose-tints the savannah and Kilimanjaro is most likely to be free of clouds. A lavish breakfast, devoured out in the bush, more than makes up for the 5 am start.
Your days don’t end there. Head out on afternoon drives for more encounters – maybe elephants up close, giraffes drinking at the waterholes, and raptors swooping above. Or stride out on a walking safari for a fresh and exhilarating perspective: follow animal tracks, taste bush herbs, meet the Small Five, and be amazed by the antics of insects, while completely (but safely) exposed to the bush. As the day draws to a close, raise a classic African Sundowner: nothing says safari like an ice-cool G&T, sipped as the sun disappears.
Great game, good looks, high adventure, an exclusive feel and a groundbreaking attitude to conservation makes the Loisaba Conservancy one of the most exciting destinations in Kenya. Sitting within Northern Laikipia, it’s a ravishing landscape of rolling river valleys, rich forests and open plains, home to the Big Five, endangered rarities like wild dog and more than 260 species of birds.
As the wildlife is varied here, so are your options for getting out among it. The contemporary-luxe Elewana Loisaba Tented Camp – perched on an escarpment, with unhindered views to Mt Kenya – offers excellent game drives, of course. But you can also ride through the bush on horse-back – a thrilling way to get unusually close to wild animals. Or you could bound down the ridges by mountain bike, raft through canyons and take a sunset trek by camel.
Or witness Loisaba’s cutting-edge conservation firsthand. Visit the conservancy headquarters to see the extraordinary work being done here and meet the sniffer dogs – Warrior, Machine, Memusi and Nanyokie– and the anti-poaching team to find out how they safeguard the wilderness.
For the ultimate unwind, sink into the camp’s infinity pool before a very special night’s sleep… Roll a four-poster Elewana Starbed out onto your decking and drift off to the tweets, snaps, howls and bellows of the bush, with nothing between you and the galaxies above.
Nowhere in Africa is wildlife more abundant than the magnificent Masai Mara. Creatures galore roam these sweeping, acacia-dotted plains. And while the Seasonal migration of two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle crossing from the Serengeti is one of Mother Nature’s greatest spectacles, the profusion of wildlife here – from 450 species of bird to the Big Five– makes it one of the best safari spots year round.
The Mara will never disappoint. The animal encounters – often so close you hardly dare breathe – are just too good. But at Elewana Sand River Masai Mara, it goes above and beyond. You’ll feel a little bit movie star at this opulent 1920s-style camp, with its dark wood, draped four-posters and antique. Furnishings adding bygone glamour to the bush. Even better is the camp’s location, on the banks of the serene Sand River: you might spot herds of ungulates crossing from the comfort of your own verandah. Head further afield, in the camp’s custom-designed 4WDs, with expert Masai guides, to look for roaming elephants and lions on the hunt. Then return to base for the most dazzling of endings: a private table, set up in the wilderness, for dinner under the stars.
Relax over breakfast before jetting back to Nairobi, where cocktails at Hemingway’s await – whether you’re about to fly home or continue your journey, you’ll want to toast this sublime Kenyan adventure.
