The family suite was spacious and comfortable, and the tailored activities meant everyone was entertained and safe. Our children are still talking about the Maasai warriors and the close encounters with wildlife. Truly a family-friendly paradise!”

“Serenity and Splendor at The Sambuk Suite”

“The Sambuk Suite was nothing short of spectacular. We had a butler at our disposal. Private dining under the stars added to the experience. It felt like we had the conservancy to ourselves. Waking up to elephants grazing outside and falling asleep to the sounds of the African bush was magical. This suite offers a secluded slice of heaven for those seeking privacy and pampering amidst nature.”
