Serara Camp
Matthews Range, Kenya
Why we love it
Sarara has six luxury tents, each positioned to maximise the stunning views of the Mathews Range of mountains and the animal watering hole. Preserving the romance of the tented camp, these tents are spacious and high ceilinged, with plenty of cupboard space, electric lighting and 24 hour hot and cold running water. Mineral water will be provided in the tents.
There is an outdoor bathroom offering a superb view of the hills from the shower. But there is also an indoor toilet and sink at the back of the tent for midnight visits. Each tent has its own private terrace with table and chairs and morning coffee and tea are brought to you so that you can wake up gazing out over the mountains. The team of resident chefs lovingly create delicious, home-cooked meals which can be enjoyed in the bush or in the comfort of the camp’s surroundings.
With so much to see at the watering hole, sometimes you want to get really close to the animals without scaring them away. They have created a little hide which you can sneak down to
any time there is an animal you want to see up close. You can stand in safety only a few feet away from a group of elephants, near enough to see their eyelashes.
As a part of the conservation effort Jeremy and Katie adopt orphaned animals who live around the camp and visit with guests. They have raised kudu, bush buck, a serval cat, several dik-dik and two ostriches.
Small visitors are also actively encouraged in the lodge. Harry the hornbill will eat from a steady hand. Quizzical furry hyrax survey the breakfast table from the branches of their home-tree inside the lodge and bird tables surrounding the lodge host flocks of splendid starlings, and bee-eaters.
An occasional rustle below your feet, and scattered souvenir quills are signs that the local porcupine is still residence under the lodge’s floor.
Take a boat trip to the volcanic islands of Santorini's caldera region to see the view from atop an active volcano and swim in hot springs.
Sail off on a catamaran into the Greek sunset for a barbecue supper, with a chance to swim and snorkel off Red or White Beach.
Head out for a day of sightseeing, taking in the traditional picturesque villages of the island, before ending with a sunset over Oia.
Spend a day with a local wine expert by visiting a variety of the island's wineries to explore the vineyards and learning about Santorini's wine production.
Taste some of Santorini's best offerings whilst learning about Greek traditions surrounding food, on a sunset walk around the calderas.
Explore some of Santorini's ancient archaeological excavations, such as Prophet Elias Monastery, Megalochori Village, or Akrotiri Excavations.

I went on an adventure of a lifetime to Kenya, planned by True Travel. Borana was the perfect introduction to Africa – the staff were fantastic, the lodge very comfortable and I had amazing wildlife sightings. Then the helicopter flight and night out with Andrew (the real Crocodile Dundee) was an experience of a lifetime; we went scorpion hunting, crocodile catching, swimming in lakes and flew over flamingos. All in all, everything was fantastically planned and the service was brilliant. I’m looking forward to the next adventure!
