CHRISTMAS SAFARI
Sharing the anticipation of waking up on safari with loved ones brings a special magic to any morning. Add to that a dose of festive excitement and you have a Christmas with a difference you’re guaranteed never to forget.
Christmas Eve drinks on top of the world
Here are our top reasons why we love Christmas on safari:
- Zero prep, 100 % indulgence
Feast on us over Christmas and let our chefs nourish and nurture you with their mouth-watering festive delights. Think homemade cookies watching the sunrise from bed, mulled wine and mince pies on the savannah and feasts fit for a king. And all with no cooking or clearing up!

- Silence, stillness and solitude
Christmas is notorious for its chaos; frantic supermarket runs and households bursting with noise filled festivities. Fly away from the crowds and slow the pace. Wake up to birdsong, unwind with a massage and rejuvenate with deep rest. Spend undistracted time with loved ones in nature and reset for the new year ahead.

- Move over Santa
Leave the mountains of wrapping paper and sticky tape at home and embrace a different perspective on festive giving. The freedom of a Christmas without an overload of material gifts is liberating. Besides, who needs Santa when there are prides of lions, laughing hippos and trumpeting elephants to excite you? Camel rides through the wild, heli adventures to the top of mountains and balloon rides over the savannah create magical Christmas memories that last far longer than anything gift-wrapped.

- Unforgettable immersive experiences
Kenya ignites the senses. Extraordinary experiences lie around every corner, transporting you far away from the everyday and making you feel truly alive. Live in the moment with the thrill of game drives, insights into new cultures, discovering our Footprint projects and reconnecting to nature. Sunrise, sunsets and star-studded night skies are a daily dose of magic that instill a deep sense of calm and appreciation for our planet.

Swapping a white Christmas for a green one might feel strange, but once tropical sunshine warms your skin, you won’t look back!

Bask in the horizon pool at Sasaab watching elephants bathe in the river below, sip cocktails with rhinos at Solio Lodge, swim beside giraffes at The Retreat, take a post-game drive dip in your private plunge pool at Sala’s Camp, breakfast beside hippo pools at Siruai Mobile Camp. We’ll stop there, you get the picture! You can also combine epic adventures in the bush with barefoot white sand luxury on Kenya’s stunning coastline with our Beach and Bush Safari.
December t’is the season for safari, so book early to avoid disappointment.
