Kenya

Rustic adventure doesn’t get any more glamorous than at the Fairmont Mara Safari Club. Set along the banks of the hippo-favored Mara River in the heart of Africa’s most cherished wildlife reserve, its 38 tents feature four-poster beds and expansive decks; a number have outdoor showers. In addition to taking daily game drives, guests can join walking safaris, visit a local Maasai community, go birding, riding BMW bikes, or swim in the pool. Definitely plan a hot-air balloon ride over the Mara plains. Evenings can be spent over African feasts served in the bush or in a traditional boma, complete with dancing and music.

Founded in 1904 and still the traditional starting point for safaris, Fairmont The Norfolk has been host to European colonists, heads of state, dukes, and other royalty through the years. Indeed, modern Nairobi has grown up and around The Norfolk, whose 170 guest rooms and suites provide a well-appointed base from which its guests explore city sights, such as the elephant orphanage or the Giraffe Centre in nearby Langata. Three hotel restaurants offer dining diversity – try a prized vintage on the cozy terrace of Cin Cin Bar, then head to Tatu Restaurant for premium Kenyan Angus beef.
