Adventure and Luxury in Kenya

My visit to Kenya was an unforgettable journey through Kenya's iconic landscapes and luxurious accommodations, starting with a stay at the legendary Giraffe Manor. Nestled amid acres of lush greenery, Giraffe Manor offers a truly unique experience where you can dine alongside friendly giraffes, creating magical moments that will last a lifetime. My favorite part of Giraffe Manor was waking up to the gentle nuzzles of these majestic creatures at my window, making every moment feel like a fairytale.

Next, I ventured into the heart of the wilderness with a stay at Sala's Camp in the Maasai Mara. Here, I was completely blown away by the sights and sounds of the African savannah, with spacious tents that offered the perfect mix of luxury and authenticity. My highlight at Sala's Camp was the exhilarating game drives, where I witnessed lion cubs playing and wrestling with each other as the sun was just coming up, we watched another pride of lions stalk and ultimately make a meal out of an African buffalo. The Masai Mara offers endless wildlife encounters with giraffes, buffalo, elephants, hyenas and warthogs. Leaving Salas Camp ripped at my heart strings. It felt like I was leaving my family. It’s a place that will forever hold a special place in my heart.

I completed my Kenyan adventure with a retreat to Hemingway's Nairobi, a sanctuary of elegance and sophistication. I thoroughly enjoyed the luxurious accommodations and exquisite dining experiences, with impeccable service and attention to detail. We lounged by the pool with cocktails in hand, digesting all of our amazing encounters in the Masaai Mara. After some time at the pool we headed over to the spa where we had the most amazing massage that left our bodies as rejuvenated as our souls.

A trip like this is best suited for travelers seeking a combination of luxury, adventure and cultural immersion. From the breathtaking landscapes to the unparalleled hospitality, Kenya offers an unforgettable experience that will leave you longing to return again and again.
