Unser Tipp

Luxurious safari lodge in the heart of Kenya's wilderness with a high density of wildlife and the beautiful scenery of Kilimanjaro! The absolute dream program for all those who would like to experience exclusive, lonely wilderness on horseback safari with the comfort of permanent accommodation.
 

Beschreibung & Reiseverlauf




The Safari Lodge is idyllically situated on the slopes of the Chyulu Hills with exclusive access to over 100,000 hectares of one of the few remaining pristine wilderness regions in East Africa. The wide open plains, the picturesque Chyulu Hills and the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro evoke images of Africa as it was at the beginning of the last century; wildlife and Masai herders live by the laws of nature in this unspoilt corner of Kenya.
The beautiful Safari Lodge is run by a dedicated, friendly team and consists of seven luxurious chalets, each with one or for families also with two bedrooms as well as elegant living area and spacious terrace.
The chalets also each have a private swimming pool. All bedrooms have spacious bathrooms with stunning views and an additional outdoor shower. All cottages also offer the possibility to enjoy the fantastic views over the wide plains and Kilimanjaro on the roof while enjoying a sundowner. If you wish, you can also spend the night here - a four-poster bed will then be set up for you under the African starry canopy. The lodge also has a spacious, tastefully furnished lounge area with a fireplace, cosy sofa corners, library, bar and terrace - perfect for cuddling and relaxing. Next door is the dining room, where you can enjoy dinner in a cosy atmosphere with an open fireplace and candlelight in the evening - let yourself be spoilt with African and international specialities of the exquisite cuisine - of course everything is freshly prepared.
The pool with a view of Kilimanjaro invites you to dream - enjoy a cool drink under palm trees with a view of the waterhole at the foot of the hill, where elephants and numerous other wild animals often gather. Unique opportunities for wildlife watching are also available from the observation post at the waterhole, where you can watch the hustle and bustle at close range.


 

Reiseverlauf





You can arrange the riding program according to your wishes. For example, you can take part in a ride of about 4-5 hours in the morning and another 2-3 hours in the afternoon. The rides will take you through a variety of terrains: wide open plains that are perfect for long gallops, beautiful savannah with numerous antelopes, zebras, giraffes, ostriches and much more, dense acacia forests that are home to large herds of elephants and the gently rolling volcanic landscape of the Chyulu Hills, where you can enjoy a fantastic panorama from the mountain tops!
The speed will also be adapted to your wishes. For experienced riders, the pace is fast and you can try your hand at galloping with giraffes! On the way there are also nice jumps over fallen trees, so that also show jumpers feel comfortable! For less experienced riders, riding lessons and shorter rides at a quiet pace can be offered, where you can also enjoy the beautiful landscape and fascinating wildlife to the full.


A typical day on safari :
In the morning, just when the sun appears behind the Chyulus and gently illuminates the plains, your tea or coffee is brought to your room. Now you can catch a first glimpse of Kilimanjaro. Start your adventure in the saddle, on a game drive or game walk in the morning freshness. Get very close to the giraffes on horseback, track down an elephant or search for cheetahs in the wide plains with Kilimanjaro as a back . After a few hours you finally reach the breakfast place, which was lovingly set up for you under a shady acacia tree. After an extensive breakfast you will return to the lodge, so that you have some time to relax before lunch. In the heat of the day you will then have the opportunity to rest, read and enjoy your siesta. At the waterhole you may also have the opportunity to observe animals and have a cool drink.
After the tea you will go out into the open air again - the perfect time to watch predators in action. When the sun disappears behind the horizon, stop at a nice spot for a sundowner to reminisce about the day.
Afterwards, wrapped up in one of the warm Masai blankets, you take the car for a little game drive back to the lodge. Maybe you will spot some nocturnal animals with the searchlight? Before dinner there is time for a shower and a drink at the campfire or at the crackling fireplace. After the delicious gourmet dinner a wonderful and unforgettable day comes to an end. Relax a little under the stars before you dive into the African night with its typical sounds, maybe the roar of a lion, the laughter of a hyena, or the trumpeting of an elephant.

In addition to the rides, jeep safaris by open jeep or guided bush walks across the spectacular wide plains, in the acacia forests and up the volcanic hills are possible at any time. Other highlights include bush breakfast at an idyllic spot and dinner under the stars. Additional activities include visits to Masai villages and the local projects supported by the Maasailand Preservation Trust Project.
