Perfect for travellers looking for privacy and space, the new Simba Private Villa has opened at one of the Maasai Mara’s most popular safari camps.
Families travelling to Kenya are invited to experience spacious luxury private villa living, in the Simba Private Villa, at recently re-designed Hemingways Ol Seki Mara, a private tented camp in the Naboisho Conservancy in the Maasai Mara.
Equipped with a kitchen, dining room, and living area connecting two enormous double bedrooms, the expansive Simba Tent – featuring floor-to-roof glass frontages and high ceilings – offers families the utmost privacy and comfort, with a fully stocked bar and fridge as well as a butler, available at request.
Both bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms complete with hot running water blasting through rain showerheads and elegant flush loos. Outside, a beautiful terrace overlooks the 200km² private conservancy, boasting a gorgeous private plunge pool perfect for endless sunshine-filled days, followed by stargazing at night.
The stand-out feature of the private villa is that it offers full exclusivity, including a dedicated chef for all meals as well as a private game drive vehicle and guide.
A favourite with travellers since it was first built in 2005, Hemingway Ol Seki Mara offers a small and exclusive enclave of luxury in the wildest Kenyan terrain, for a maximum of 20 guests – with a a second private villa due to open in July 2024. The camp offers an incredibly private safari experience and is home to an intimate open-air spa below a beautiful African fig tree, offering treatments using locally produced essential oil infusions.
