HOTELS

One of Nairobi's most iconic buildings, the Giraffe Manor is set in 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest in the Langata suburb of Nairobi. The most fascinating thing about Giraffe Manor is its herd of resident endangered Rothschild Giraffes where they often visit in the morning and evening, poking their long necks into the windows in the hope of a treat, before retreating to the forest sanctuary.
Tortilis Camp, Amboseli National Park
Sharing a border with Amboseli National Park with its own private entrance into the park, Tortilis Camp is located in a hillside setting and shaded by the natural forest of Acacia tortilis torn trees after which it is named. Designed in a manner that blends rustic style and modern amenities, the camp is renowned for its high standards of service and its superb views of the sunset over Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru.
Elsa's Kopje, Meru National Park
Elsa's Kopje is an award-winning and private safari lodge in Kenya's Meru National Park. Named after the lioness reared by George and Joy Adamson of Born Free fame, the camp is located in an area of open plains, doum palms, baobab trees and lush flora. The cottages at Elsa's Kopje are designed to incorporate the natural rocky hillside and make for an exclusive safari retreat.
Sand River, Masai Mara
Situated on a secluded and picturesque site, the camp replicates the heyday of exclusive permanent tented camps of the late 1920's. The interior fixtures and furnishings mirror this period perfectly, reminding all who visit of those countless Hollywood movies that have paid homage to a classic era of African adventure.
