The Safari and Spa
Offering a unique opportunity to combine a wilderness adventure covering a wide range of landscapes, luxurious lodges and pure relaxation in world-class spas, revitalising your mind, body and soul and offering fantastic game viewing throughout. Flying between the reserves makes light work of the distances and enables you to spend more time game viewing and enjoying the luxury accommodation.
This wonderful safari starts with a day at leisure in Nairobi, here are some of our most popular
Tours and Excursions.
Laikipia District (days 3-5) is home to a wealth of endangered species. Your accommodation here, Loisaba Lodge, with only 7 en suite rooms, is perched high on the edge of the plateau looking south towards Mount Kenya. The views are legendary, and a water hole attracts wildlife. Not to be missed is one night under the stars in a Star Bed.
Saruni (days 6-8) is the new, deluxe and intimate tented lodge set in a private conservation area outside the Masai Mara Game Reserve. With accommodation for only 12 guests in six spectacular tented cottages, it is set in a remote valley at the heart of the most exciting wilderness in Kenya. Saruni runs the Masai Wellbeing Space, a unique feature in the Masai Mara and considered one of the most professional and inspiring beauty centres in Kenya.
Loisaba Lodge and Saruni Mara offer full board, soft drinks, beer, house wine and non-luxury spirits plus guided walks, night game drives and laundry. Loisaba Lodge also offers horse and camel rides and Saruni Mara offers one complimentary massage per stay.
