WILDEBEEST, SAFARI and SAVANNAH HIDEAWAY
—This escape captures one of the most extraordinary, last remaining animal migrations, the Great Wildebeest Migration, where over 2 million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle gather from the Serengeti plains to Kenya’s Maasai Mara. With complete exclusivity to this world-class phenomenon we’ll pinpoint the exact heat of the action depending on the time of your arrival, and put you right in the middle
—After a restful overnight at 30,000ft you’ll wake up in virtually the same time zone but in exotic Kenya. Utilising the very best in private aviation and with access by helicopter, 4x4 and a hot-air balloon, you will witness the very best of the migration whether in the Maasai Mara or the Serengeti Plains in Tanzania. The whole experience will be completely yours alone with exclusive access to private game concessions and your own celebrated guide.
—You will enjoy exclusive, luxurious accommodation complete with private chef and personal butler, from a luxurious colonial-style lodge, to a ‘Hemingway-styled’ classic camp positioned close to the action, to a stunning tranquil lodge perched on the edge of the Rift Valley. With authentic encounters and celebrations with local nomadic tribes and heli-exploration of the majestic Mount Kenya, this escape not only captures the spectacular Wildebeest Migration but also a most thorough African experience - and all in a long weekend.
