OTHER PROPERTIES
​A conservation-led social enterprise that feeds directly back into effective conservation-action, this beautiful camp is about as eco-friendly as it gets with six spacious bedrooms each with its own private verandah.
Inside, flowing cloths cascade to the floor and wide netted windows keep out bugs but let the wild sounds and scents drift in on the warm breeze.
Showers take place under the stars with buckets of hot water powered by the sun, and we do our best to honour the wild world at every turn.
​Our special talent at Elephant Watch is to introduce you to the 60+ individually known families in Samburu national reserve, studied by NGO, Save The Elephants, since 1997.
We approach each member of this 1000-strong population with insight and reverence, and we know them so well as 'persons' that they let us into the heart of their families.
It's an unrivalled experience that helps recruit people from around the world to join hands to protect elephants.​​
​​We believe passionately that conservation-led tourism plays a crucial role in preserving Africa's threatened wildlife, cultures and habitats by providing alternative livelihoods for local people.
Founded in 2003, this unique social enterprise is leading the way as a shining example of best practice in tourism. ​​​
HOME TREE
LANG'ATA, NAIROBI
If you need to overnight in Nairobi or relax in a day room before catching a flight overseas, Home Tree - in twelve acres of indigenous forest on private land adjoining the Giraffe Sanctuary - is the perfect place to catch one's breath.
This charming condo in the canopy celebrates the best of inside-outside living.
Accessed by a wooden walkway and drawbridge, this all-in-one bedsit has a kingsize bed with a small velvet parlour, a well-equipped kitchen, larder, walk-in clothes cupboard, Wi-Fi, and an en-suite bathroom with a power shower. ​
The bedsit opens on to an expansive verandah with an outside sitting and dining area, and a delightful herb garden beneath mottled shade.
Home Tree's ground floor has a large twin bedroom with its own loo and sink that is perfect for children or a second couple. A secret trap door with ladder offers internal access to the lower floor from the upstairs bedsit, or one can take the easier route via an outside staircase on the walkway.
Whatever your needs be, this exquisite peaceful hideaway is the perfect place to spend a few nights in Nairobi.
With some of the best restaurants in town close by, we're also ten minutes from the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage in the national park, and the Giraffe Centre.
Surrounded by nature, Home Tree is a haven of peace with excellent security so you can relax and enjoy the quiet song of the forest as it lulls you to sleep. ​​
