Only 90 minutes from Nairobi, the resort offers walking and horse-riding safaris, and trips around volcanic lakes.

Once the private domain of famed millionaire, Adnan Khashoggi, this sheltered oasis offers a charming blend of under canvas ambiance and uncompromising luxury. Its private status offers unique experiences such as the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary (the only place in Kenya to see these highly endangered animals), visits to Morani, a tame black rhino, night game drives, guided bush walks and camel-trekking across game-teaming plains.
Mara Intrepids Club
The most talked about destination in the world’s most talked about wilderness.

All tents are luxuriously self-contained with a hot water shower and a flush toilet.
Leopard Beach Resort & Spa
Situated on Diani Beach, 34 km south of Kenya's bustling port of Mombasa, Leopard Beach Resort and Spa enjoys prime position on one of the world's most stunning beaches. Tropical gardens drop onto the white sandy shores of the Indian Ocean below where calm waters and the coral barrier reef are a haven for divers.
Golf
Great Rift Valley Golf Club (2 rounds)
As Kenya’s most stunning championship course, the Great Rift Valley Golf Club, is shorter than other courses in the area, but equally challenging. Its lush, springy fairways snake through the natural Lake Naivasha vegetation such as exotic acacia trees.
Muthaiga Golf Club
Treacherous bunkers await in front of the fastest greens in East Africa and flowering bushes come into play on almost every hole and make this course one of the prettiest to play. Muthaiga, which was one of the Kenya's pioneer golf courses is home to the Kenya Golf Union, and each year in March plays host to the Kenya Open Championship.
Karen Golf & Country Club
Home of the Kenya Open 2004 and 2005 and considered by some to be one of the prettiest courses in Kenya because of its profusion of flowering trees and bushes, Karen Country Club is a must play. The course is next to the house of Karen Blixen - the author of "Out of Africa" and situated in the colonial suburb of Karen.
Leisure Golf Club (3 rounds)
One of Kenya’s most challenging layouts, Leisure Golf Club is the only course on Kenya's south coast. The course features American style bunkers and a lake alongside the 18th hole that is home to live crocodiles. This course is certainly not for the weak-hearted.
