Seasonal Information
Experiencing a safari in Eastern Africa is an unique and incredible experience. The vast open plains allow you to witness a huge variety of wildlife, from giraffes feeding on the tall acacia trees to ostriches running in the distance, or a pride of lions resting in the shade after a morning of prowling the plains.
A Kenyan sunset is an incredible sight, and what better way to end a day after a game drive or immersive walk in the bushveld than to relax at an incredible camp, enjoying a sundowner and watching a group of elephants at a nearby watering hole while the sun sets.
