Comfort Meets Safari Camps

Unhindered views of Mount Kenya, a canvas camp that moves with the mass migration of the wildebeest, a night under the open sky in a hand-crafted four-poster wooden bed—our African accommodations combine the best of unbridled adventure with cozy comforts.

Loisaba Tented Camp

Perched on the edge of an escarpment, Loisaba Tented Camp is designed to capitalize on unhindered views across Laikipia's mottled landscape all the way to Mt Kenya. All accommodations and main areas enjoy a breathtaking vantage point over an expansive panorama.

Elephant Pepper Camp

The camp’s remote location in the Mara North Conservancy, the heart of the Masai Mara ecosystem, allows the stars to shine bright at night. You’ll enjoy the unique experience of listening to the sounds of lion, leopard and hyena foraging and hunting, while being pampered with traditional and modern comforts such as a campfire and cozy duvets.

Entamanu Ngorongoro

Following one of the world’s most stunning private drives, we bring you up to a dizzying edge of elemental Africa with panoramic views spinning forward into the Crater and back to the Serengeti plains. This is much more than a great vantage point for visiting the Crater, this is where we live the Ngorongoro life.

Serengeti Safari Camp

A million and a half wildebeest and zebra can’t be wrong, and this camp never settles for less. This canvas home-from-home and its indomitable crew are on the move year-in, year-out from one sweet Serengeti site to another, guided by the mass movements of the wildebeest migration and their quest for ever greener grass. Along with it come our highly trained naturalist guides and all the trimmings of a classic safari.
