Sarova Shaba Game Lodge

Sarova Shaba Game Lodge is a luxury lodge located in a natural oasis in the Shaba National Reserve, a protected area in Isiolo County to the eastern side of Nairobi. The lodge offers complete serenity amidst wild and beautiful surroundings; an elevated Safari experience in one of Kenya's most untamed locations. Shaba National Reserve offers breathtaking scenery and a rich diversity of wildlife and enjoys its fame as the land of "Born Free" thanks to the heritage of Joy and George Adamson, who nurtured Elsa the lioness on the grounds of Shaba in the 50s before setting the lioness free on the plains beyond.

Sweetwaters Serena Camp

Embrace the awe-inspiring natural beauty of your surroundings and set the stage for a visit you won’t soon forget. Located within the sprawling Ol Pejeta Conservancy, one of Kenya’s most noteworthy conservancies and home to the ‘Big Five’ (elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo, and leopard), Sweetwaters Serena Camp offers a holiday experience unlike any other.

Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge

Located on a range of hills that form the western limits of Africa’s Great Rift Valley, the lodge offers spectacular views over the vastness of Africa. The lodge also overlooks Lake Nakuru and its surrounding National Park, one that is a paradise for bird watchers and wildlife lovers alike. Lake Nakuru National Park is mainly a wooded and bushy grassland with a wide ecological diversity and characteristic habitats that range from the lake waters to the escarpment and ridges.

Zebra Plains Mara Camp

Zebra Plains Mara Camp is a pioneer camp and it is located below Oldonyo Oloip Ridge home to Moniko Pride of lions and with the best views of the open plains of the Mara frequented by Giraffes, Zebras, Impalas, Topis, Buffalos, and many other plain games. The camp has a water hole in front of the camp that gets busy during the dry season.

During your stay, you will get to enjoy our camp’s several spacious guest relaxing areas that feature indoor and outdoor lounges, two campfires, day sun beds, a TV lounge, and a fully stocked bar lounge.
