In your imagination, when you’ve traveled to Africa, did you picture yourself in a posh hotel suite with room service? Or rather, did you see yourself waking up to the sound of birds with a coffee or tea tray delivered to your tent flap? Haven’t you seen yourself in Robert Redford’s shoes or Meryl Streep’s as they sat at the campfire in “Out of Africa” beside their tent?

At Kifaru, we believe in spoiling our guests (as well as our dogs, but that’s another matter entirely). Our permanent tent camp is safe and serviced to cater to your every need and desire. Laundry is done daily. Each en-suite tent has the amenities of that posh hotel suite but features the morning sun dappling the canvas. Livingstone didn’t have it this good. Insect-proof, each beautifully furnished, elevated tent features a spacious queen-sized bed, classic colonial styling and all the comforts of home. Your feet will revel in the warmth of African rugs on immaculate flooring. In your tiled bathroom, you have a choice of hot or cold water in the sink, shower and even the claw-foot bathtub. Here, you’ll be pampered in quiet seclusion.

Delicious meals, prepared by our chef are served in the dining area of the lodge overlooking the reservoir nearby where animals come to drink. Close by is a library and also a separate TV lounge in case that special game is being televised that you just can’t miss. (top)
