A timeless African trilogy

Mara Bushtops is your tented sanctuary for the first four nights. Located in a private conservancy in the Maasai Mara, game drives by day or night showcase the traditional line-up of wildlife that never gets old; from a hefty number of lions and elephants to the shyer leopards and rhinos. Back at the camp, the three-time-titled “best safari spa in Africa” – Amani Spa – greets with treatments overlooking the Mara’s largest natural salt lick.

Transfer to Finch Hattons in Tsavo National Park, where the tented suites are elegantly stylish, the game viewing is sublime, and the spa is the largest in East Africa. Yoga on the deck overlooking the Chyulu Hills starts the day before venturing out to find the patrons of a watering hole. Only returning for a muscle-melting massage using locally sourced and eco-friendly products.

Swap grasslands for sugar-white sands as you head to the pristine beaches of Zanzibar. Off the beaten track, at the end of a shrouded sandy trail, lies a vibrant beachside micro-universe that encapsulates the very essence of its surroundings. A member of Design Hotels, Zuri Zanzibar’s sustainable afro-chic décor offers a well-deserved nod to local traditions, while a fragrant spice garden gives guests a sense-stimulating glimpse into the area’s exotic culinary history.
