Crazy enough to be unforgettable,

how about a weekend safari in Kenya? No, not as part of an overall holiday but simply as a weekend break. Fly out of London Heathrow on a Friday morning (time to get the redeye from Dublin or a more leisurely Thursday night flight) and return at the crack of dawn on the Tuesday. Yes, it’s special-occasion pricey at €2,110, so what do you get? Return flights from London to Nairobi; one night’s dinner and B&B in Hemingways Hotel in Nairobi; return flights to Ol Seki and two nights’ full board in Ol Seki Hemingways Mara at the heart of the Naboisho Conservancy in an exclusive safari reserve – with four game drives included.
