Who is this safari suitable for?
Anyone who wants to experience some of Kenya’s best properties, in
some of the finest wilderness locations. A safari by its very nature is an
adventure, so if you love surprises, this is the perfect option for you.
In the current COVID environment, what measures are
Kenya and The Safari Collection taking to ensure the
safety of guests?
Government protocols in Kenya have gone a long way to ensure
that the country is safe for visitors and the tourism sector in particular
is taking every necessary precaution to ensure the protection of its
guests. Kenya has been awarded the World Travel and Tourism Council
(WTTC) ‘Safe Travel Stamp’ in recognition of the standardised global
health and hygiene protocols that have been put in place, including in
airports. All travelers coming into the country have been tested within
72 hours of travel and are screened every step of the way.
At The Safari Collection, all staff have been vaccinated and are fully
trained to comply with proper COVID-19 hygiene protocols. By its very
nature, a safari is naturally socially distanced, making it an ideal low-
risk travel experience. There will be minimal contact with other people,
you will be staying in remote locations and spending most of your time
in the great outdoors with the wind rushing through your hair.
If I have to cancel due to COVID-19 travel restrictions,
flight cancellations or contracting the virus, can I get a
refund?
This offer is non-refundable, HOWEVER, if you are unable to travel due
to COVID-19, you will be able to postpone your trip for a future date
outside of peak travel seasons for 24 months.
How much will I know about my safari?
Upon confirmation of your booking, you will know that you’re going
on a magical 7 night safari, staying at a minimum of 2 of The Safari
Collection properties. A beach option is available at no additional
charge and this will include 3 nights at a selected partner property
on the South Coast of Kenya and 4 nights at The Safari Collection
properties. From the moment you book, you can rest assured that all
ground handling will be arranged for you – from our Meet and Greet at
the airport, to all transfers and your final drop off, we’ve got it covered.
The exact details of which properties you will stay at on which dates will
be sent to you 7 days prior to departure. Please note that we cannot
guarantee a stay at Giraffe Manor.

When will I find out my final itinerary? You will be sent your final itinerary 7 days prior to departure, however it may be subject to minor changes up until the day of travel. Can we choose which of The Safari Collection properties we stay at? The very nature of a Lucky Dip means that you’re going to have an adventure and be surprised. Rest assured that we’ll do everything we can to ensure it’s the BEST surprise possible. So whilst the exact properties you’ll be staying at will remain a surprise until 7 days prior to departure, we can tell you that you’ll be visiting in at least two of the following properties: Sala’s Camp, Sasaab, Giraffe Manor, The Retreat at Giraffe Manor and Solio Lodge. Please note that we cannot guarantee a stay at Giraffe Manor will be included. I want to stay at a particular property, can I request this? The Safari Collection will always try to give you the best experience possible, including staying at a range of our properties, however, we cannot guarantee you will stay at any one particular location. What will the ‘surprises’ be? We can’t tell you exactly what will be in your safari ‘goodie bag’ (that would spoil the surprise!) BUT we can tell you that any one or more of the following may be included: bush breakfasts, starlit bush dinner, sundowners, sundowners with rhinos, orchid house dinner. You won’t know what you’re going to get until it happens, but that’s the fun of a lucky dip. Can children come along? This special offer is available to adults and children. The same rate terms will apply for adult and child bookings. Will transfers between properties be by vehicle/flight? They could be either or, a combination of both. We will always endeavour to get you onto a scheduled flight, however this cannot be guaranteed until the final stages of your itinerary planning. You will be sent details of which properties you’ll be staying at 7 days beforehand, however your final transfer information will not be confirmed until 48 hours prior to departure. Please do not let this worry you – we are expert ground handlers and taking care of the finer details to ensure the smoothest of experiences for every guest, is what we do best.

face masks is always useful in the current climate. Luckily, we have
a great packing list that covers everything you might need at all our
properties. If you’d like us to send this through to you, please get in
