Lily, Alizeti and Jock VIII left the giraffe sanctuary to make the 350km journey to Rimoi National Reserve. This was chosen as their new home due to its thriving population of Rothschild’s giraffes and excellent wildlife monitoring capabilities.
Aerial surveys of Rimoi National Reserve show the giraffes thriving in their new home. They have been seen regularly at a water point close to the gate and one has even joined a larger group of 14 giraffes.

Nothing beats the thrill of being on safari during migration season. Thanks to our guests Bobby Neptune and Magical Kenya for capturing this epic footage during their recent stay.

This year at The Safari Collection, we would like to turn the spotlight onto the tree by celebrating not what's underneath it, but the tree itself.
Now, more than ever, our planet needs trees. We need trees to breathe. Animals need trees to survive. The land needs trees to hold it together and regulate water. We cannot live without trees, yet we are destroying the earth's forests at an alarming rate.
This Christmas we want to give back to our planet, so we are giving the GIFT of TREES. For every guest travelling with us this festive season, we pledge to plant indigenous trees in Kenya to help offset their carbon footprint.Time for ThanksgivingThe Safari Collection2019-11-27 | This Thanksgiving, we feel blessed to have enjoyed time spent with loved ones.

Music: "Circle of Life" by Alex Boyé ft Alisha Popat & LamartiIntroducing the Giraffe Manor SwingThe Safari Collection2019-01-25 | Nothing beats the childish freedom of sweeping through the air on a swing, arms and legs outstretched, curving high up into the sky before feeling the rush of air as you whoosh back down.
Big enough for several little bottoms at a time, our giant swing has been a huge hit, and not only with our younger guests. With fabulous views over the Ngong Hills in one direction, the Manor in the other and an audience of giraffes, it certainly scores highly on Instagram appeal!Twas The Night Before Christmas by The Safari CollectionThe Safari Collection2018-12-17 | This festive season, nothing is more precious than the special time spent together with loved ones.

Some homes are vulnerable, for both people and wildlife. With the help of you, our team and our community, we feel thankful to have been able to help protect homes in need.
Thank you for visiting our home and for helping us to protect it for future generations.
Happy Thanksgiving.Sounds of SasaabThe Safari Collection2018-07-18 | For many 'music speaks louder than words' as songs and sounds have the power to conjure up vivid memories or vibrant dreams. Better than any diary entry or holiday snap, music can transport us back in time to a special moment in our past or be the soundtrack to an aspiration or pipe dream of the future.
This short film created by Midi Minds Kenya encapsulates the Sounds of Sasaab. The spine-tingling chants, rhythmic clapping and soulful singing were created by the community in Westgate Conservancy.
We hope you enjoy this colourful combination of Samburu song and vibrant footage and that the sounds inspire you to start dreaming about your Sasaab safari.
Don't forget to turn the volume up!How to Kiss a GiraffeThe Safari Collection2018-07-05 | Pucker up at Giraffe Manor and watch Eddie share his giraffe kiss. For the perfect giraffe kiss follow these simple tips:
1. Pick a nice long pellet to ensure there's enough for your giraffe's tongue to hold onto! 2. Place one end of the pellet between your puckered lips, make sure your lips are covering it as little of the pellet as possible. 3. Move your head up towards your eagerly awaiting, black tongued partner! Fun Fact: did you know that giraffe tongues are a bluish-black colour to help protect them from sunburn when they reach for leaves to munch on at the top of trees. 4. Expect a Sloppy kiss! Don't worry about any extra slobber, giraffe saliva has antiseptic properties to protect it from spiky acacia thorns. 5. Don't forget to capture this magic, bucket list moment on camera!Solio Eye Clinic 2018The Safari Collection2018-07-05 | It was been all systems go at The Mary Immaculate Hospital in Nyeri, Central Kenya, where Solio Lodge's fifth annual eye clinic was underway. In May, a team of experienced Kenyan doctors from the UK based charity 'Medical and Education Aid to Kenya' (MEAK), with the help of our Solio Lodge staff, have been busy treating 1138 patients and performing exactly 100 life-changing surgeries for members of the local community. Aside from the immediate transformative impact that clinics such as this one at Solio have on local communities, they are also a vital tool in bringing local communities under the umbrella of conservation tourism by enabling them to experience first-hand some of the benefits it can have to local communities. With Solio staff on-hand to help register patients and dispense medicines, people can begin to see how conservative tourism operations have an important purpose and how essential it is for them to support sustainability programmes to preserve Kenya's precious wildlife areas for future generations.Zawadi ya Safari – Gift of a JourneyThe Safari Collection2017-12-14 | The season of giving is upon us and we are feeling privileged and excited to welcome our guests and give them the magical and unmatched gift of a journey to Kenya this Christmas.

The Safari Collection specialises in trips to Virunga National Park, one of the wildest, most biodiverse places on the planet and the oldest National Park in Africa. The park thrives on tourism, truly connecting people to nature. Your visit to Virunga's beautiful and fragile environment can help save it.

The amazing thing about Kenya is that it continues, even 30+ years after the Academy Award-winning film that catapulted it to destination infamy, to deliver the romance, beauty and authentic, life-altering experiences that translated so perfectly on film.
Imagine vast landscapes of overwhelming beauty and inky night skies dotted by billions of glimmering stars. Imagine deafening silence broken by the roar of a lion or distant song of local villagers. Imagine roll-top copper bathtubs surrounded by hurricane lanterns and a crackling fire at the foot of your bed. Imagine the dawns chorus as you wake under canvas to the trumpeting of a nearby elephant herd. These are a collection of wildly romantic experiences that The Safari Collection delivers through its stunning array of intimate, exquisite properties.Classic Portfolio Sustainable Mega Fam: KenyaThe Safari Collection2017-01-03 | In October 2016, The Safari Collection was involved in the travel industries first-ever Sustainable Mega Familiarisation trip.

There are plenty of people who can bounce around the bush finding good photo ops for their guests, but it takes a special dose of passion, enthusiasm and je-ne-sais-quoi to be the sort of guide who informs, enthuses and amuses all at once. These are the qualities and attributes TSC instills and encourages in its own highly-qualified safari guides.
In this episode you will meet our amazing guides who are eager to share Kenya's bounty with our visitors.The Salas Camp ExperienceThe Safari Collection2016-08-05 | Sala’s Camp enjoys the privilege of being the first Mara property to welcome the spectacle that is the annual wildebeest migration.

The timing of the wildebeests’ arrival could not be more fitting as Sala’s re-opens to welcome its first guests of the season with a new look befitting one of the world’s most astounding natural phenomena. While still embracing the traditional ‘under-canvas’ safari camp, Sala’s has also incorporated contemporary elements like glass doors and plunge pools, lending just the right amount of modern luxury to what remains an authentic safari feel.

Kelly—one of our beloved Rothschild giraffes—gave birth to a baby boy on 1st November 2015.
Kelly is the third biggest giraffe at Giraffe Manor and she is hard not to love with her graceful movements and naughty personality. We can’t be certain, but she most likely became pregnant from Edd, as he is the biggest male out of all the giraffes on site.
15 months later (the gestation period of a giraffe), finally the time had come for Kelly to give birth.
In the late afternoon, she gracefully wondered off into our sheltered yellow fever acacia forest and a few hours later, had given birth to a little baby boy.
