THE SAFARI COLLECTION
CAMPS & LODGES
NAIROBI – Giraffe Manor
The most unforgettable bucket-list breakfast in the world. Often referred to as one of the most Instagrammed properties in the world, Giraffe Manor is set in 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest in the Langata suburb of Nairobi.
One of the most fascinating things about Giraffe Manor is its resident herd of Rothschild’s giraffes who may visit morning and evening, poking their long necks into the windows in the hope of a treat, before retreating to their forest sanctuary.
Garden Manor and The Retreat are only available in combination with any of The Safari Collection’s other properties in the same itinerary. In the event of the other property being cancelled, the booking at The Retreat is forfeited altogether, while the stay at Garden Manor becomes subject to availability at the Main Manor. However, if the booking is made within 4 weeks of arrival, the Garden Manor or The Retreat may be booked on its own.
SEASONALITY: Open all year. .
LAIKIPIA – Solio Lodge
Solio Lodge is located on a private wildlife sanctuary, tucked in the valley between the lofty slopes of Mount Kenya and the peaks of the Aberdare Mountains, directly north of Nairobi. Intimate and luxurious, it opened in August 2010 and remains the only guest accommodation on the incredible 45,000-acre Solio Game Reserve.
Enjoy a wide range of activities including game drives, horse riding, a visit to a Kenya coffee plantation and birdwatching. You can also take a helicopter to nearby Mount Kenya and for a hilltop picnic breakfast or go trout fishing in the Aberdare National Park.

SAMBURU – Sasaab
A stunning luxury tented camp in the heart of the Samburu wilderness. Perched on the edge of a river valley, the architecture of Sasaab blends Swahili and Moroccan design principles in which the African heat is of primary consideration.
Each of the 8 individual canvas-sided rooms is over 100m² with private plunge pools and breath-taking views across the Laikipia Plateau toward the jagged peaks of Mount Kenya. Its position above the river naturally facilitates watching the herds of elephant that come to bathe below as well as a host of other wildlife.
SEASONALITY: Closed 16 – 30 November
MASAI MARA – Sala’s Camp
Safari at Sala’s Camp offers guests the classic Kenyan experience. Located in the heart of the Masai Mara on the banks of the Sand River, Sala’s Camp is ideally positioned for spectacular views towards the Northern Corridor and the Serengeti into Tanzania. It is a front row seat to the first sightings of the great wildebeest migration into Kenya.
Seamlessly combining a traditional ‘under canvas’ safari experience with contemporary comfort, including private plunge pools and glass-fronted tents, and Maasai-guided activities ensuring an unforgettable safari. Quite simply, Sala’s Camp offers an unforgettable and magical Mara retreat.
