Masai Mara , Kenya
Staying in one of 17 spacious safari tents, each with private veranda, you can relax and enjoy the panorama of animals and birds frequenting the watering hole in front. Your intimate accommodation is comfortable, tasteful and in tune with safari tradition, lit by lantern or candlelight. Located near the Mara River inside the Masai Mara Game Reserve, you are close to the best game viewing. In the unfenced camp, the resident family of warthogs frequently wander amongst the tables - and even elephants may stroll past. With a serenity all of its own, this exquisite, romantic setting is reached by boat and casts its spell over all who visit.

There are two rain seasons, the long rains occur from April to June and short rains from October to December. The rainfall is sometimes heavy and when it does come it often falls in the afternoons and evenings. The hottest period is from February to March and coldest in July to August.
