Kenya remains the top safari destination in Africa and now really is the time to book your luxury safari, since many of the top properties have special offers, meaning, of course, that you will pay less. First, it may be good to know that there is no Ebola in Kenya and the political situation is more stable than in a lot of Western countries. Luxury safari operators in Kenya are so adamant that Ebola will not make it to Kenya that they have created a new cancellation policy. This new policy basically means that you can get your money back if Ebola does reach Kenya after you have booked your luxury safari. Don’t let the media influence your perception of things though!
If you want to go, just go.
The following top five luxury tented camps in Kenya all have special offers.
1. Offbeat Meru – Meru
Offbeat Meru is by no means the most luxurious of the tented camps in Kenya but it has a charm to it that is hard to find elsewhere. And, it has one of the best infinity pools in Africa. The camp has access to Meru National Park, where the game viewing is fantastic and you won’t see another vehicle. Book before the 3rd of January, 2015, and you will receive a free night when you stay for three nights.
2. Cottars Camp – Masai Mara
This luxury camp also has a stay-three-pay-two offer, which makes this luxury safari camp exceptionally good value for money. Cottars is unlike any other tented camp in Africa and is decorated solely with real campaign furniture from the days of Africa’s first great explorers. It is situated in a location that allows for freedom to explore the surrounding bush. There is fantastic game viewing, particularly from September to November when it’s southerly location means the migration is in situ.
3. Elephant Pepper Camp – Masai Mara
This luxury tented camp has views of the open plains and a small tree-lined river, and has recently been completely refurbished. It really is quite the magical place, located in an area where there are very few other vehicles. The tents are not over the top but are beautifully done and this luxury camp also has a stay-three-pay-two, making it exceptionally enticing.
4. Joy’s Camp – Shaba, Northern Kenya
This tented camp is opulent and fabulous; it is quirky and unique and also has a stay-three-pay-two offer going on. Shaba is very remote and wild and you are guaranteed not to see another soul on safaris there. You will definitely be blown away by the wonderful landscapes and volcanic rock, which makes this area so special. Joy’s is magical and the history of Joy Adamson is a fascinating thing to learn more about.
5. Tortilis Camp – Amboseli, Southern Kenya
Tortilis Camp has views of Kilimanjaro and some of the best elephant viewing in all of Africa. Here you can have a fantastic cultural experience too and can enjoy freedom in an area made up of vast open plains, hills and forests. It is incredibly diverse and the game viewing is amazing. Tortilis is made up of luxury tents that are covered with thatched roofs, creating a cool and tranquil atmosphere.
