Once in a lifetime

Masia Mara
Always popular with British royals - especially Prince William - Africa has increasingly become destination of choice among celebs and sportsmen. Golfing ace Tiger Woods recently proposed to his girlfriend while on safari there, for example.

Imagine starting the day with a hot-air balloon flight at dawn over one of the largest and most awe-inspiring game reserves in the world, Kenya’s majestic Masai Mara. After coming back to earth, you sit down to a sumptuous, freshly cooked breakfast – with champagne, of course – served on a dazzling white tablecloth, sitting surrealistically among the wildebeest and zebra.

And plenty more treats follow. On a Brief Encounters safari, you’ll also explore Amboseli National Park in the shadow of Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, fall in love with majestic elephants and tiny dik-dik antelope, meet the famous Masai herdsmen and stay in Olonana, one of the finest camps in the country. Magic!
