Hemingways Nairobi Hotel, Kenya

Situated in the leafy suburb of Karen, between the rolling Ngong Hills and Nairobi National Park, Hemingways Nairobi offers an elegant all-suite retreat just minutes from many of the city's most popular attractions, including the Karen Blixen Museum and the Giraffe Centre.

Each spacious suite features vaulted ceilings, sophisticated décor, generous living areas, and a private terrace overlooking beautifully landscaped gardens. Personal butler service, luxurious bathrooms, and thoughtful amenities ensure every stay is both comfortable and memorable.

Guests can unwind beside the outdoor swimming pool, enjoy indulgent spa treatments, work out in the fitness centre, or savour exceptional cuisine in the hotel's renowned restaurant and bar.

The surrounding area offers a wealth of experiences, from game viewing in Nairobi National Park and a round of golf at Karen Country Club to unforgettable encounters with rescued elephants at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.

Wilderness Mara Lodge, Kenya

Nestled within the exclusive Mara Triangle, Wilderness Mara enjoys a prime location in one of Kenya's richest wildlife regions, with privileged access to both sides of the Mara River. This private setting provides exceptional game viewing while avoiding the larger crowds found elsewhere in the reserve.

The camp features twelve beautifully designed luxury tented suites overlooking a seasonal marsh where wildlife frequently gathers. Each spacious suite includes indoor and outdoor showers, elegant furnishings, and an elevated private deck offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding wilderness. A dedicated family suite is also available.

Beyond outstanding safari experiences, guests can enjoy a fully equipped fitness centre, tranquil spa, swimming pool, and a professional photographic studio designed to help preserve unforgettable safari memories.

The Masai Mara Experience in Kenya

Days begin before sunrise as the African bush awakens. Early morning game drives offer outstanding opportunities to encounter lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, buffalo, and even the elusive black rhino while the soft morning light creates spectacular photographic conditions.

Returning to camp for breakfast, guests can spend the remainder of the morning relaxing or exploring one of East Africa's richest birding destinations, home to more than 470 recorded bird species.

Afternoon game drives reveal vast herds of wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, and antelope roaming the open plains, while visits to a traditional Maasai village provide fascinating insight into the customs, traditions, and heritage of one of Africa's most iconic cultures.

As evening falls, enjoy sundowners overlooking the savannah before returning to camp for an unforgettable dinner beneath Africa's star-filled skies.

Hemingways Retreat Kigali

Tucked away in one of Kigali's peaceful residential neighbourhoods, Hemingways Retreat Kigali combines eco-conscious luxury with convenient access to Rwanda's vibrant capital.

Designed around lush tropical gardens, each room opens onto a private deck complete with an outdoor rain shower and saltwater plunge pool. Solar-powered throughout, the retreat reflects a strong commitment to sustainability without compromising comfort.

Guests can indulge in relaxing spa treatments, enjoy the fitness centre, or dine at the acclaimed Fusion Restaurant, where locally sourced ingredients from the property's organic garden inspire an exciting blend of Rwandan, Italian, Mauritian, and Moroccan flavours.

The retreat also provides an excellent base for exploring Kigali through guided walking tours, local markets, art galleries, cultural experiences, horseback riding on Mount Kigali, and visits to the inspiring Nyamirambo Women's Centre.

Explore Kigali

Discover the fascinating story of modern Rwanda on a guided tour through the country's vibrant capital.

Visit colourful local markets filled with fresh produce, crafts, textiles, and artwork before exploring the Museum of Natural History for panoramic views across Kigali.

A visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial offers a moving and educational insight into Rwanda's tragic past and remarkable journey towards reconciliation, resilience, and hope.

Wilderness Bisate Lodge

Set within the dramatic natural amphitheatre of an ancient volcanic crater, Wilderness Bisate enjoys breathtaking views across the towering peaks of Mount Bisoke and Mount Karisimbi bordering Volcanoes National Park.

Six beautifully designed Forest Villas blend luxurious comfort with traditional Rwandan architecture and environmentally sustainable design. Every stay contributes directly to local conservation initiatives and community projects dedicated to protecting the endangered mountain gorilla and restoring indigenous forest habitat.

In addition to gorilla trekking, guests can enjoy golden monkey tracking, guided forest walks, birdwatching, visits to Dian Fossey's historic research site, and participation in Bisate's pioneering reforestation programme.

Gorilla Trekking

Few wildlife encounters compare to coming face-to-face with a family of endangered mountain gorillas in the forests of Volcanoes National Park.

Accompanied by experienced trackers, the journey begins through dense bamboo forests and lush montane rainforest, where colourful birdlife and playful golden monkeys bring the forest to life. Depending on the location of the assigned gorilla family, the journey to the trailhead may take between 30 minutes and two hours.

As the trek continues through mist-covered slopes and ancient forest, anticipation builds with every step until the unforgettable moment of meeting a gorilla family in their natural habitat.

For one extraordinary hour, observe these gentle giants as they interact naturally—the powerful silverback watching over the group, mothers nurturing their young, and inquisitive juveniles playing nearby. The experience is deeply moving, offering a rare glimpse into one of nature's closest relatives.

Returning to camp, guests leave with far more than photographs. The encounter creates lasting memories and a profound appreciation for one of the world's greatest wildlife conservation success stories.
