10 Days/ 9 Nights Private Bush Home Kenya Safari is a luxury holiday featuring privately owned properties and accommodations in secluded conservation areas where guests will not have the peace of the bush destroyed.

The bush homes are run by individuals who know the land, the people and the wildlife that lives there. This is the real Africa. Our 10 Days Bush Home Safari begins with a stay at a Nairobi Bush Home called The Nairobi Ngong House located on the outskirts of Langata, on the land once cultivated as Karen Blixen's coffee estate.

Next you fly to Cottar’s 1920s Camp - an award-winning luxury camp as well as Cottars Private Homestead located in an untouched 250000 acre exclusive concession bordering the Masai Mara. Cottars Camp Mara accommodates up to 22 guests in authentic white canvas tents, which are spacious and luxuriously furnished.

Cottars Camp in the Masai Mara returns to the original spirit and essence of 'safari', reminiscent of a golden era - an era of romance, professional guiding, adventure and elegance, in a timelessly unspoiled setting with panoramic views and boundless game.

After a morning game drive and breakfast we bid farewell to the Masai Mara and fly to Laikipia Plateau. Our accommodations are at Lemarti's Camp located in the 30 000 square kilometers of semi-arid northern Kenya called Laikipia - one of the last relatively undiscovered frontiers of wildest Africa.

Lemarti's five luxury tents, which accommodate up to 10 adults and 18 children, have been lovingly created to immerse you in this extraordinary patch of Africa. The assortment of game here is extraordinary and surprising. Formidable lions, elusive leopards, and cheetahs stalk the savannah.

It’s a haven for elephants and hippos. And the conservancy is renowned for its African wild dogs, an increasingly rare sight outside the region.

Hippo Point is our last vacation stop - a private wildlife sanctuary located at 6,200 feet (1,050 metres) on the idyllic shores of Kenya’s Lake Naivasha. Here you can enjoy communing with nature in comfort so that you, your family and friends can reconnect with yourselves, each other and the extraordinary beauty, peace and serenity found in this special corner of Kenya.

If you want to get active there’s plenty of choice at Hippo Point – Wake up with the sun to witness the serenity and beauty of the animals grazing in the morning light. Yoga in our open air “yoga barn” overlooking the lake, Walk under the yellow fever trees or along flamingo clad shores with a light mist still on the lake.

Jog with giraffe checking you out. Brave early morning laps in our 25m pool with Zebras timing your laps. Mountain bike the nearby hills or go for a gentle horseback ride. You can even Ski the big lake with Hippos judging your style.

Day 2 to Day 4: Nairobi – Fly Masai Mara Game Reserve
Cottar’s 1920s Camp, Masai Mara “If you want to track the safari bloodline, you go to Cottar’s,” states Travel+Leisure. A short flight and yet another stunning sojourn, now with Calvin and Louise Cottar as your hosts. Calvin’s great grandfather was an American who, inspired by Teddy Roosevelt’s hunting exploits, moved to Kenya in 1911 and established Cottar’s Safari Services. The rest is history—nearly 90 years of it.

Cottar’s today is the quintessential deluxe safari camp, inspired by the halcyon days of African travel. And who would know better? Scattered throughout the camp are Cottar family heirlooms, from the Victrola to the silver tea service.

Each guest tent, with its own butler, is a luxurious affair of white canvas replete with antiques, illuminated by lanterns, offering private en suite dressing rooms and bathrooms complete with a freestanding tub! Cottar’s fortuitous position in the Mara—located on a concession of private land bordering the Serengeti—affords prolific game drives in the shimmering light of early morning, golden light of late afternoon or by the sterling light of the moon.

All without equal.

Overnight at Cottar’s 1920s Camp, Masai Mara on a full board basis (including local beers, soft drinks and wines).

Meal Plan: {Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner} Day 5 to Day 7: Laikipia Plateau Lemarti's Camp

Considered by Travel & Leisure as one of the World's Best Tented Camps, Lemarti’s Camp is an unforgettable safari hideaway in Kenya’s breathtaking northern Laikipia Plateau, one of the last frontiers of virgin wilderness and home to the majestic Samburu people.

The twist here is that while the local Samburu community owns the land, the camp itself was built and run by a local Samburu guide - Loyapan Lemarti - and his Kenyan-based fashion designer wife, Anna Trzebinski. This unlikely duo met on safari - he was her guide - and were later married.

Their dream camp emerged, nestled in an oasis in a spectacular setting beneath a grove of palms and centenary fig trees. But what is truly unique about staying at Lemarti’s Camp is experiencing the "Rites of Passage" safari that Lemarti has crafted. It is an experience unparalleled in East Africa today.

No safari vehicles or armed guards here. Guests quite literally walk into the wilderness with Samburu warriors armed only with their traditional weapons, their sharp senses and generations of knowledge.

These gentle tribesmen will talk with you about their ways, connect you with amazing wildlife and take you into a moment in time that is both authentic and other worldly.

Overnight at Lemarti’s Camp on a full board basis (including local beers, soft drinks and wines).

Meal Plan: {Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner}

Custom-built by Dodo Cunningham-Reid for seasoned romantics, guests are able to enjoy breath-taking views over Oloidien Bay and follow at eagle-eye the movements of the hippos grazing at the foot of the Tower.
