Curating the perfect Kenyan safari holiday takes careful planning and research, but with so many luxury lodges, dreamy destinations and one-of-a-kind experiences to choose from, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the details. The Safari Collection is taking the pain out of planning the perfect safari escape with its new Lucky Dip, a seven-night mystery safari with an action-packed itinerary that will only be revealed to guests a week before departure.
The trip will include stays in at least two of the company’s four luxury hotels and lodges in Kenya, as well as unique experiences at each, including starlit dinners in the bush, sundowners with rhinos and pampering spa treatments.
The Safari Collection comprises four unique hotels, including Giraffe Manor in Nairobi, which is home to a herd of Rothschild’s giraffe who regularly make an appearance at the windows of the breakfast room, and Salas Camp, which sits at the confluence of two rivers in the southern corner of the Masai Mara, affording spectacular views of the annual wildebeest migration.
North of Nairobi, Solio Lodge is the only property within the 45,000-acre Solio Game Reserve, the most successful private rhino breeding reserve in Kenya; while Sasaab is situated in Kenya’s northern Frontier District, near to Sambaru National Reserve, where lion, leopard and cheetah prowl the vast Laikipia Plateau.
The all-inclusive Lucky Dip trips start from £3,715 (US $5,156) per person on a sharing basis, and are available for bookings and travel before May 31.
