The elephants that came to dinner

Built over an ancient elephant path, Mfuwe Lodge is renowned for its bountiful mango tree. Every spring, when the fruits ripen, an entire elephant herd lumbers through the lodge reception to gorge themselves on the feast beyond.

The Bird Nest, Segera Retreat

Imagine being here: The Bird Nest

Next on our list of wonderful safari spaces to swoon over is Segera Retreat’s recently launched NAY PALAD Bird Nest in Kenya. The NAY PALAD Bird Nest offers a luxurious sleep out experience like no other.

“Looking into the night, I can see eyes staring back at me.
In the dark, something is moving. I am afraid, but I am also happy.
I have never been here before, And yet I feel like I have returned.
I am at peace.”
