Tailor made holidays to Kenya - Kutazama Lodge in Shimba Hills

Wow!  This is one of my favourite places in the world.  If you are looking for a luxury honeymoon with a difference or just somewhere to escape the rat race and soak up the atmosphere of tropical Kenya at it's best, this is the place for you!

Luxury pool with a view

Kutazama Lodge on the edge of Shimba Hills was created and built by Gill and Garry who have been in Kenya for decades, with backgrounds in conservation and teaching.  The lodge only has two suites (both huge, with jacuzzi tubs!) and the centre piece of the property are the stunning two tier swimming pools, built into the edge of the cliff face, surrounded by masses of tropical plants. It really is the ultimate in luxury Africa!  Below the pools on the plains stretching as far as the eye can see is an elephant sanctuary ... as you sit in the pool, cocktail in hand watching the huge African sun slip over the horizon with elephants wandering past you will truly believe you have found paradise.

The main lodge building has a cosy lounge (for cooler winter nights!) with a library and a collection of Gill and Garry's artefacts from their travels.  There is a large dining room and bar area and again, views over the plains below from the terrace.

Take a few days here to unwind after a safari or stay a week for a total relaxation experience!  You can journey into the Shimba Hills National Park where there are beautiful birds and flowering plants, elephant, buffalo and monkeys, visit local schools and villages or travel 45 minutes by road to Diani Beach and spend some time on the coast or days out at the nearby marine parks.  Or you could simply stay in the pool ......
