Hello East Africa
Private flight from Segera Retreat Airfield to Angama Mara Airfield, Maasai Mara
Relive the love story as told by Karen Blixen in her memoir on a six-night safari discovering the Laikipia Plateau and Maasai Mara.Enjoy a three-night Big Five safari at Angama Mara, where the movie, Out of Africa was filmed, right in the heart of one of Africa’s most famous game reserves.
Then fly to Laikipia to experience Segera Retreat’s gracious hospitality and see why this lodge is such a rare experience with its remarkable collection of contemporary African art and the Gypsy Moth from Out of Africa. Days are spent on safari, walking or enjoying the Retreat’s lovely gardens
Angama Safaris services begin with a private meet & assist service off your international flight arriving at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi.
Home to several private ranches and some of the most exclusive game-viewing in Kenya, the Laikipia Plateau lies on the equator in the shadow of the ever-imposing Mount Kenya, offers rich cultural experiences and is a successful conservation model sharing the land between people, wildlife and livestock
Indulge in an unforgettable experience with this very special retreat set amongst a profusion of botanicals. Not only does this recently restored homestead offer sweeping views towards Mount Kenya, but with a fine collection of contemporary African art and gardens full of exotic plants, Segera is a unique property and a refreshing departure from traditional bush camps.
A Day at Segera Retreat
If you wish, days can begin early before the dawn, waking up in time to watch Mount Kenya with the sunrise from the stargazing deck, coffee in hand.Segera offers a unique range of experiences, from game viewing on the ranch in open vehicles (go in search of the rare and elusive Pata’s monkeys, or Grevy’s zebra), to camel walks and afternoon picnics under acacia trees.After a safari, take some time to relax in the Rasul steam tower follwed by a spa treatment in the beautifully appointed wellness centre.
– now beautifully restored and at home on Segera.
For the historians and art lovers, the Explorer’s lounge contains original letters from Hemingway and Blixen to name a few, while contemporary art is dotted around the property with a permanent gallery in the old ranch stables.Explore the local community and the work of Segera’s “4C’s” tourism model, or take a walk to see the original Gypsy Moth plane “G-AAMY”, as used in the movie Out of Africa
Before dinner, personally select your wine for the evening, and dine on freshly prepared, creative meals in your villa’s private lounge, fire-side in the stables, or in the Paddock House with endless views over the ranch.
Goodbye Laikipia
World renowned for its exceptional populations of lion, leopard, cheetah and herds-a- thousand-strong of buffalo, the Maasai Mara is also home to the rare black rhino, Thomson’s gazelle, topi, wildebeest and of course a thriving elephant population
Enjoy a private flight from Segera Retreat’s private airfield to Angama Mara’s private airfield, Maasai Mara.
Met by an Angama Mara guide upon arrival, take a leisurely ten minute stroll or a short drive to the lodge.
Perched high above the floor of Africa’s Great Rift Valley and inspired by the Swahili word for ‘suspended in mid-air’, Angama Mara overlooks the Maasai Mara. With two intimate camps of just 15 tented suites each, here you will find a place where everything is just as it ought to be –with tailor-made safari days and a famously warm Kenyan welcome.
A DAY AT
Guests staying at Angama Mara are faced with many choices of how they wish to spend their day. Sunrise hot-air balloon safaris, photographing Africa’s abundant wildlife, walking on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, or visiting a Maasai family in their home – these are just a few of the adventures on offer.
Wake up before the dawn and fly over the Mara in a hot air balloon, game viewing as you float gently past, or sleep in late and watch the sunrise with a steaming coffee, orange juice and a freshly-baked something delicious.
Spend the days out on safari: the Maasai Mara never fails to deliver extraordinary wildlife sightings – head out at sunrise with a picnic breakfast and be back for lunch; head out after breakfast with a picnic lunch; or a favourite, pack two picnics and spend the whole day exploring the Mara and its bountiful wildlife – this is one of the loveliest game drives of all
Or
relax at the lodge: with a book by the pool, on a red rocking chair safari on your tent deck or a gentle walk up the kopje where many of the lovely scenes from the movie Out of Africa were filmed –complete with a romantic picnic on the rocks, just for you.
As the sun dips behind the escarpment, toast the end of the day with Maasai warriors at the Boma and dine on classic safari food – with not a buffet in sight.
Goodbye the Maasai Mara
