Accommodation

,Arusha Coffee Lodge, Arusha Arusha Coffee Lodge lies cradled in the endless acres of Tanzania's largest coffee plantation. This exclusive, boutique hotel lodge has been designed to recall the farms' original plantation homes, radiating the warmth and invitation of the old colonial plantation homes historically distinctive to the coffee plantations. The property also features a swimming pool, restaurant, lounge and laundry service. Amenities include a mini-bar, ceiling fan, safe, hairdryer, and a coffee grinder and percolator to offer a true coffee estate experience. Tarangire Treetops, Tarangire National Park Tarangire Treetops sits serenely on the border of the Tarangire National Park. Each of Treetops' elevated rooms boast one of the largest bedrooms to be found in any camp or lodge in East Africa – and all with an exotic double shower en suite bathroom. With furnishings that create warmth and demonstrate a commitment to local craftsmanship, the ‘up-in-the-air’ experience is completed by the open-fronted room design affording views across the Tarangire plains from an expansive but private balcony. The Manor at Ngorongoro, Ngorongoro Crater Reminiscent of an elegant up-country farm home in the Cape Dutch style of architecture, the Manor at Ngorongoro is a total restoration of one of the first German-Dutch settler farm homes in the Ngorongoro Highlands. The Manor is a 1,500 acre Shangri-La Estate, located adjacent to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. With panoramic views, there are guest areas with fire pits, a lounge and bar area, access to outdoor decks and a choice of formal or casual dining areas. The lodge also offers a swimming pool, steam & sauna room, bar & wine cellar and a library with internet access. All the 20 luxurious guest cottage suites are enveloped by lush gardens and ancient trees, offering a luxury safari experience fusing East African safari hospitality with old world Afro-European architecture and décor. Cottage amenities include a private courtyard & deck, ensuite bathroom with a bathtub and rain shower, a hairdryer, a fireplace and fantastic views of the surrounding landscape. Serengeti Migration Camp, Serengeti National Park Hidden among the rocky outcrops or kopjes of the vast Serengeti plains, this camp exudes decadence reminiscent of old Africa. The split level lounge, cigar bar, restaurant, sundecks and swimming pool are perched among the outcrops and overlook the vast and rugged landscapes that are home to the world's greatest mammal migration. The Sunset Deck - a vast wooden deck, with a fireplace and a number of directors' chairs - is a popular evening gathering place to watch the sunset over the Lobo River, whilst enjoying a drink from the bar. There is also laundry service. Set along a stone pathway is the dining area, which like the lounge has a total open front, with views across the river. Breakfast is an extensive spread with fresh bread, cereal, yogurt and fruit. There is also a cooked breakfast option. Take along a tasty packed lunch to eat whilst you are out in the bush, or come back to the camp for the buffet style spread. For dinner the He camp restaurant offers elegant and inventive dishes. Twenty large and spacious tents have been carefully placed to provide privacy and blend into nature's architecture, overlooking the Grumeti River and its resident hippos. Surrounded by a 360-degree verandah deck, with a specious 480 sq. feet of internal floor space, each sits on a raised wooden platform with wooden doors, part stone and part canvas walls and a canvas roof. The en-suite bathrooms sit behind canvas curtains to one side of the bedroom. Here you will find a beautiful dark wooden surface, into which twin his-and-hers sinks are set. The sinks are beautifully crafted pottery in a dark glaze with a metallic quality to it. Above the sinks hang his-and-hers mirrors. To one side of the sinks, behind a small dividing wall is a proper flush-toilet, and to the other is a hot-and-cold shower. A hair dryer is also provided. Sand River Masai Mara, Masai Mara National Park Located on the banks of a river from which it has taken its name, Sand River Masai Mara is located within the Masai Mara National Reserve, close to the Tanzanian border. Situated on a secluded and picturesque site, Sand River Masai Mara replicates the heyday of exclusive permanent tented camps of the late 1920’s. The interior fixtures and furnishings mirror this period perfectly, reminding all who visit of those countless Hollywood movies that have paid homage to a classic era of African adventure. Sand River Masai Mara is an ideal destination at any time of the year for those wishing to enjoy exceptional game-viewing. The National Reserve is best known for its large concentrations of big cats, such as leopard, cheetah and, of course, lion. Even the dramatic arrival of the Annual Migration merely adds to an already abundant resident wildlife that awaits discovery. Hemingways Nairobi, Nairobi This new boutique hotel, only a 40-minute drive away from Nairobi’s international airport, will elevate the standard of luxury service for travelers in the region.  Magnificent in its symmetry and beautifully flooded with natural light, this plantation-style hotel will surely leave a lasting impression for all who visit.  Beyond the balustrade of your private balcony, overlooking the iconic silhouette of the Ngong Hills, a breathtaking view of The Green Hills of Africa, as described in Hemingway’s novel, awaits you.
