Lodges in the wild

The accommodation in these wild areas is so much more than a place to sleep, with the array of options from tents to five-star lodges quite overwhelming. Mwiba Lodge in the southern Serengeti has just eight suites by the river, and you can enjoy delicious gourmet meals either in the dining room or under the stars.

Even more part of the environment is Loisaba Star Beds, with hand-made four-poster beds perched on raised wooden platforms ensuring a night of wonder under the African sky. Loisaba has stunning views over the valley and waterhole, with Samburu and Maasai warriors welcoming you and adding to the experience.

Samburu warriors will be your guides at the exceptional Saruni Samburu, which has six eco-chic villas with wonderful views over the Kalama Conservancy and Mount Kenya. The safari experience with the Samburu will allow you to see the landscape and the wildlife through their eyes. If this cultural interaction intrigues you, you can sign up for a special Warrior Academy experience, learning to track, about folklore and the wisdom needed to survive here, as well as visiting a Masai village.
