Surrounded by spectacular wildlife-rich grasslands Governors’ Il Moran Camp is one of the premier camps in the Masai Mara. This award-winning Kenya hotel has just ten tents set along the winding banks of the Mara River. Signature spa treatments are conducted in the privacy of your spacious tent, each with a private verandah. Meals are served on the raised wooden deck of the dining and bar tent, overlooking the river with a bird’s-eye view of snorting hippos. Enjoy multiple game drives into the Masai Mara National Park in the hotel’s fleet of Landcruisers in the day, and spend evenings at the sunken fire pit with a cocktail of your choice.

Ol Seki Hemingways Mara sits on a rocky bluff in the heart of the 200-sq-km Mara Naboisho Conservancy, where tourists are few and wildlife aplenty. This Kenya hotel bordering the Masai Mara Reserve has just ten exclusive luxury tents. Guests get a truly private safari experience since only those staying in the conservancy are allowed entry. Besides regular safaris, you can go on a full-day game drive, a night game drive, a three-hour walking safari, an early morning hot air balloon ride or a horseback riding safari. You can also visit the N’dorobo cave and a Masai village with knowledgeable local guides. Enjoy international cuisine with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Lunch is served as a picnic while you’re out or as a three-course spread when you return. Sip afternoon tea in your tent and enjoy a four-course dinner under the stars at the end of the day’s wild adventures.

Giraffe Manor, just outside Nairobi and set against the backdrop of the Ngong Hills, is one of the city’s most iconic boutique hotels. It supports the conservation of wild giraffes across Africa. The stars here are the herd of endangered Rothschild’s giraffes that roam the sanctuary surrounding this Kenya hotel. Wake up to find them poking their slender necks through your bedroom window, or watch them flutter their long lashes over your breakfast table, eager to partake in the feast. They’ll join you for tea on the lawns too. This 12-room boutique residence was once home to Betty and Jock Leslie-Melville, conservationists who began the rehoming of Rothchild giraffes. Enjoy walking tours, a guided tour of Nairobi National Park, or a visit to a baby elephant sanctuary.

Barely 1.5 hours south of Mombasa, on the Kenyan coast, The Baobab Beach Resort and Spa lies within acres of tropical gardens on Diani Beach. Rooms overlook the splendid gardens, pools, or Indian Ocean. Five on-site restaurants offer a wide variety of cuisines to choose from, while the many bars and lounges are perfect for relaxing and savouring various international and local drinks and cocktails. The resort’s three lovely swimming pools overlook the ocean. At the Afya Bora Wellness Club and Spa, pamper yourself with holistic massages, hydro baths, and body exfoliations. Go fishing outside the coral reef, snorkel in the calm ocean from a glass-bottomed boat, or try your hand at windsurfing, catamaran sailing, or scuba diving. Gentler pursuits include golf and a walk-through of the indigenous forest.
