Karen Blixen Camp

Masai Mara

Days 1 - 3: Masai Mara

Karen Blixen Camp Location Map

Karen Blixen Camp is situated in the pristine Mara North Conservancy, which borders the Masai Mara Game Reserve. This eco-friendly luxury camp gives a sense of the exciting explorer days, when the savannah was seldom visited and elaborate and comfortable camps were set up providing a luxurious and stylish retreat after each day’s adventure.

Daily morning and afternoon/night game drives are enjoyed within the Mara North Conservancy for the utmost exclusive and private safari experience with low impact tourism controlled vehicle density. On request and during the Great Migration, you also have the opportunity for a full day game drive in the Masai Mara National Reserve.

Game walking can also be arranged for those who wish to experience the magnitude of the Mara savannah on foot. Shorter nature walks are kept within the camp and focus entirely on the rich birdlife and little insects inhabiting the area and how the Masai make use of the indigenous plants for medical and ritual purposes.

Karen Blixen Camp comprises 22 large luxury canvas tents each placed with undisturbed view along the Mara River.

The open plan ‘mess’ area, built on a raised wooden deck, is located on the banks of the Mara River overlooking a resident hippo pod. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are served in the restaurant or bush garden from where one has an incredible close view of the Mara River and the wild animals coming to drink. For guests wanting to venture a little further, romantic bush dinners can be arranged underneath the starlit African night.

The swimming pool has sunbeds and umbrellas for shade from the African sun. A wide range of wellness treatments and therapeutic body massages are also offered by trained therapists (additional cost).

WaterLovers Beach Resort

The Kenyan Coast

Days 4 - 7: The Kenyan Coast

WaterLovers Beach Resort Location Map

WaterLovers is a quaint beach resort on the tropical shores of the Indian Ocean. A mere 35 km from Mombasa, it is located in Diani Beach, on Kenya's South Coast, which is known for its white sands and turquoise warm waters - a perfect setting for a holiday in paradise by the ocean.

The long fine and white beach of Diani stretches along a beautiful 25 kilometres. The beach is very wide although this varies substantially during the day, depending on the tides. The coral reef is 700 metres from the beach and serves as a natural barrier, allowing for flat water inside and wave conditions close to the reef.

This is a perfect destination for kite surf and windsurf lovers. Constant trade winds blow into the spacious, pristine beach and the reef offers flat-water conditions and waves.

For those who want to start diving or already have a diving licence, the reef is extremely rich and offers different kinds of dive spots. Among the most common species are the colourful reef fish, the beautiful sea turtles and the giant whale sharks, which come to the reef between November and March.

Snorkelling equipment and kayaks are complimentary from the Waterlovers Beach House. One of the fishermen’s traditional wooden boats can take you to the coral reef in 10 minutes where you can go snorkelling and explore the wonderful tropical seabeds.

For those who are keen lovers of big game fishing, the Indian Ocean is rich with blue marlins, sail fish and tunas, or golfers can head 5 minutes down the road to the 18 hole course at Leisure Lodge Golf Club, home to the Diani Beach Masters.

The resort offers 8 very spacious Suites, an ocean front Penthouse Apartment and a self-contained Villa, all oceanfront and luxury equipped.

The restaurant is set by the turtle-shaped infinity pool overlooking the ocean, and the structure is reminiscent of Greek architecture - spacious whitewashed arcades with wooden ceiling beams. The food is a combination of Mediterranean and African coast. Roasted pumpkin ravioli in crab and fish ragout, crab fagottini with avocado and lime sauce, passion fruit mousse with white chocolate flakes and mint leaves are only some of dishes that will charm your taste buds.

There is also a beach bar, a spa set in tranquil gardens, and a boutique shop selling local arts and crafts.
