ACCOMMODATIONS AND ITINERARY
The journeys are all about transformation which seem to occur on the balance point between the perfect plan and a love for deviating from it for the spontaneous, magical things that arise. From private charter flights over the Great Rift Valley, bush dinners & Maasai warrior dances, and wandering in electric mountain bikes - you can join all activities that inspires you and opt-out of whatever you'd like.
The Conservancy Camp is comprised of 8 tents, each nestled in wilderness with heavenly beds and their own bathroom and shower, a large mess tent with dining table, lounge and bar.
For the ultimate relaxation after a day of adventures, there is a dining room, bar/lounge, a spa and a luxurious pool.
There's also a fire in the fireplace or bush baths with bubbles on your porch upon request, all with dedicated room staff.

FOOD AND DRINK
Meals are a mouth-watering introduction to inland and coastal African cooking traditions and modern, farm-fresh creations, largely drawn from an organic vegetable garden on property. Every shared space has a bar and a regal bartender with a fez to shake a drink, and every Landcruiser has a cooler for sundowners.
