TRAVEL BUZZ

LUXURIOUS KENYA TRAVEL In addition, Kenya has over 140 conservancies, often jointly owned by foreign investors, conservation charities and local communities. These are specifically dedicated to preserving the natural environment and ensuring that the profits reach the local people. Game drives in conservancies are only available to those staying in the camps based within its boundaries, so there won’t be crowds of vehicles clustered around the wildlife, and it’s often possible to book exclusive-use game drives for your party. Accommodation is limited in conservancies, and the camps and lodges are often small, with rooms or tents well spaced out to provide privacy. You may even have views of wildlife roaming the plains from your own private verandah or hammock – surely the ultimate luxury Kenyan experience! On the coast and Lamu Island, beautiful hotels and lodges opening onto quiet, pristine beaches keep the comfort levels peak. One of the most obvious benefits of a luxury trip is the freedom to tailor it to your preferences, with no set departure dates and a huge range of options, which take your trip from memorable to absolutely unforgettable. When it comes to safari adventures, some luxury holiday companies even have a dedicated travel designer within camp, who will help you pick options once you’ve arrived.
