## FOR A LUXURY SAFARI ON A BUDGET: 



### Kenya By Yellow Zebra 



  

A trusted, award-winning tour operator, Yellow Zebra Safaris offers a seven-night itinerary at a reasonable price. Its ‘Peaks of Kili to the Great Migration’ tour (from £3,625pp) starts in Nairobi, with game drives in Amboseli beneath the snow-capped peaks of Kilimanjaro. Then, you’ll head to the Maasai Mara for front-row seats to the Great Migration. Lodges are eco-conscious and well-located, with expert guides and cultural visits included. Tailored for couples and honeymooners, guests will have access to Yellow Zebra’s expert specialists, many of whom are former guides or camp managers.

## FOR AN ECO STAY: 



### Mara Toto Tree Camp, Kenya 



  

If you want to do a safari holiday once and get it right, Great Plains has a range of conservation-led camps across Botswana, Kenya and Zimbabwe. Its latest opening is Mara Toto Tree Camp, a luxury, eco-friendly site in Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve. There are four spacious tree-canopy tented suites, each home to private lounges, en-suite bathrooms, decks with views of the surrounding landscape, and a range of amenities. Each one also has a professional camera set, which guests can use throughout their stay, while a team of on-site chefs prepare all meals using local ingredients. Guests can book everything from private game drives to hot air balloon rides to spot wildlife like lions, leopards and elephants. The camp is powered by an impressive solar farm, and guests can arrange cultural experiences throughout their stay, including meeting local Maasai communities.

## FOR A CITY STOP OVER: 



### Hemingways Nairobi 



  

If you’re flying straight into Kenya, you’ll need to spend a night or two in its capital. Our pick of where to stay? The chic Hemingways, set between Nairobi National Park and the Ngong Hills. It’s an all-suite hotel in the leafy suburb of Karen. Each suite is 80m², with a private terrace, marble bathroom and dedicated butler service. Interiors are light, bright and elegant, while its brasserie-style restaurant serves dishes overlooking manicured gardens. Guests can unwind at the spa, explore nearby cultural sites like the Karen Blixen Museum or enjoy sundowners with views of the hills.

## FOR SOMETHING NEW: 



### AndBeyond Suyian Lodge, Laikipia 



  

Having opened last month, andBeyond’s latest opening brings a new kind of luxury to Kenya’s wild north. Set on 44,000 acres of private wilderness in Laikipia, Suyian Lodge offers total exclusivity – there’s no other lodge on the land. Expect design-led interiors inspired by ancient geology, private plunge pools, and a wellness centre tucked into the rocks. Days are shaped by horseback safaris, conservation talks, and the chance to spot rare species like black leopards and Grevy’s zebra. During downtime, you can use the yoga studio and enjoy meals in shared dining areas. With architecture rooted in the landscape and a strong conservation ethos, this is a lodge for travellers who want to stay somewhere truly special.
