East Africa
This is one of the last places on Earth where wild animals are still free to roam across great unfenced plains and graze the seemingly neverending savannah, where lush highlands and snow capped mountains give way to vast alkaline lakes. A safari here is the genuine article, a journey of discovery and a taste of the Africa of long ago.
When the first reports of snow clad mountains and wild animals in their tens of thousands started trickling back from the intrepid expeditions of missionaries, adventurers and fortune seekers over 150 years ago, many academics refused to believe them. Even today it is sometimes hard to believe that Kenya and Tanzania can possibly offer game-filled wildernesses of such magnitude and variety, or landscapes of such breathtaking beauty.

Sanctuary Retreats offers a uniquely flexible Private Camping experience that uncovers the heart of East Africa. The sensation of being alone in the African wilderness is truly special. This kind of safari adventure is also environmentally ideal as it leaves no permanent fixtures and allows the land to remain as pristine as it was when the first tent was pitched.
