Southern Kenya
On the edge of the Great Rift Valley near the Tanzania border sits Shompole,
an eight-room luxury lodge with a truly unique design. The lodge has an
organic aesthetic that fits in seamlessly with the surrounding countryside.
Everything that is not a natural material (thatch, wood, etc.) has been
painted white, creating a fresh, clean look that is simple but still luxurious.
Each tented room features a cool-pool, informal sitting areas, bathrooms
with a view, large windows, and a canopied roof. The main lounge and dining
area overlooks Mount Shompole and the Rift Valley. The property sits on
a 35,000-acre conservancy, surrounded by the Shompole Group Ranch, creating
a large area for wildlife to roam freely.The Masai of the Shompole Group
Ranch are partners in the project so a percentage of the profits directly
benefit the community.

wooden beams. With its floor-to-ceiling glass walls, the romantic Turret

private pool perched on the edge of a cliff. All three villas feature private
verandas with plush hand-carved sofas surrounded by green gardens and magnificent
ocean views. Guests feast on fresh local seafood flown in daily and prepared
by the chef and served in the privacy of their own dining room. Massages
and reflexology are included as part of the experience. Quite simply, Alfajiri
Villas is the absolute height of luxury.

 House
of Waine
Nairobi
Located in the leafy Nairobi suburb of Karen, House of Waine has the appearance
of an elegant country manor even though it is quite near the bustle of the
city. Each of the 11 bedrooms at House of Waine is individually styled along
a theme: features include canopy beds, deep claw-foot bathtubs, and sumptuous
fabrics. A set menu rotates daily and allows each guest two options for
each course; meals are served in a variety of settings, including the pool
pavilion, lounge, terraces, or garden. A heated swimming pool is on the
property's grounds, and two bars are reserved for the exclusive use of guests.
House of Waine is a perfect choice for those that wish to experience Nairobi
from a comfortable (and serene) distance.

 Elsa's
Kopje
Meru National Park
Located in northeastern Kenya, Elsa's Kopje served as the setting
for the movie Born Free and, in fact, the lodge was named after the proud,
titular lioness of the film. "Kopje" means small hill, and the
lodge is so discreetly tucked into Mughwango Hill that it is nearly invisible
to the eye. Once noticed, though, the lodge is impossible to ignore -- 9
individual cottages and the more spacious Private House (perfect for families)
are decorated in a sumptuous African style with traditional safari touches.
The impressive range of wildlife is as varied as you'll find anywhere in
Africa. In addition to game drives and walks with the ranger, Elsa's Kopje
offers picnics at the Tana River, fishing, and visits to the Tharaka tribal
village. Gourmet cuisine is traditional Northern Italian with international
and African elements.
