Fun and luxury in the bush

Last year, Nairobi’s Villa Rosa Kempinski Hotel, known for its luxury, left tongues wagging after it hosted the most powerful man on earth — US President Barack Obama.

The hotel has now taken its high-class services to the African bush in the name of Olare Mara Kempinski, one of the four tented camps in Olare Motorogi Conservancy. Here, the camp is in the good company of Mahali Mzuri, owned by billionaire Richard Branson. Kicheche Camp and Mara Plains are the other camps based in the 35,000-acre conservancy.
