The Library
The Library is the quintessential safari setting, furnished with leather sofas and arm chairs, offering you the opportunity to relax and admire the collection of literature.
Located in the heart of the Naboisho Conservancy, bordering the Maasai Mara Reserve, sits just 10 exclusive luxury tents in Kenya's wildest terrain. Ol Seki Hemingways Mara offers guests a truly private safari experience, as the conservancy only allows entry to clients staying within the area. This personable and intimate stay means that each day is tailored to your desires.
Naboisho Conservancy includes contributions from over 500 Maasai landowners, and the tourism here ensures they receive a sustainable livelihood. Although as the number of tourists permitted to enter the conservancy are limited, the wildlife here really thrives. In fact, research indicates that Naboisho has one of the highest densities of lion in Africa, along with large numbers of elephant, giraffe, and even wild dog.
Consider combining your stay at Hemingways Nairobi and Hemingways Watamu for an unforgettable Kenyan adventure; from the city to the African bush, and eventually to the idyllic Indian Ocean.
