Send to a Friend |
This timeless, romantic escape takes you to another world away, maximising time with a restful overnight at 30,000ft, waking up in the same time zone - but in Kenya. It offers exclusive access to the Mountain Gorillas of Rwanda - specially accessed quickly by helicopter; an opportunity to see Africa's Big-5 game (Wildebeest migration - May/ June) accompanied by a celebrated guide; an authentic encounter with Maasai nomadic tribes; and then, sublime relaxation - a romantic escape to a private beach residence on the Indian Ocean - all possible in a long weekend! With exclusive accommodation in a classic mountain lodge, a night under the stars in a Hemingway-styled luxurious camp and a night in a glamorous beachside residence complete with spa facilities - utilising only privately chartered logistics, this very private escape offers a remarkably concentrated series of world-class experiences in a world far removed from the everyday.
A Quintessentially chauffeur will collect you and your guest from your chosen London address. You'll begin your experience by flying First Class from London to Nairobi, an overnight flight, so after dinner and a few drinks, you'll wake up in Africa, with little difference in time zone.
On arrival, you will enjoy VIP status to clear customs and will be met by your specialist guide and personal photographer who'll escort you for the duration. You will be then lead to your privately chartered executive aircraft for a ninety-minute flight to Kigali, Rwanda. There you will be swiftly transferred to an awaiting helicopter for a scenic transfer direct to your private mountain villa, complete with butler. After settling in, you'll enjoy brunch prepared by your private chef. Then you'll be introduced to a celebrated gorilla conservationist and specialist guide, who will drive you the short distance into the mountains for an exclusive trek to discover Rwanda's mountain gorillas. Lunch will be served in a special private mountain location by your private chef, where you'll relax and enjoy the enchanting mountain scenery that is simply unique to Rwanda. In the afternoon you are free to relax, enjoy a massage or visit local communities. A special dinner of regional delicacies will be served with optional discussions with Gorilla conservationists, whilst local musicians and dancers provide exclusive entertainment and beat up a heady rhythm.
In the morning, after breakfast, your helicopter awaits to whisk you away for a scenic flight along the Albertine Rift Valley over volcanic Lake Kivu back to Kigali where you'll transfer to your executive aircraft and your scenic flight will continue and land in the heart of Kenya's Maasai Mara landing on a bush runway. From there you'll enjoy a short game drive to your exclusive 'Hemingway-styled', lavish, luxury tented camp in a secret location. Complete with private chef, butler and specialist guide, you are self-sufficient to enjoy the very best of Africa - and all to yourselves! Your guide will show you Africa's big game and later, you will experience authentic encounters with the Maasai. Dinner, an outdoor feast of regional delicacies all enjoyed by the fire, under the stars, with a special tribal gathering and exclusive ritual dance performances by Maasai warriors.
The best time for game viewing is at sunrise, so it's an early start (optional) and after breakfast, your aircraft will be waiting to take you on a spectacular low-level flight, to spot more wildlife, over the Maasai to Lake Natron with its flamingos, and over the impressive Rift Valley, sighting high concentrations of elephant on your way past the majestic Mt Kilimanjaro. Your flight culminates on the edge of the Indian Ocean, landing close by to a perfect private villa hideaway - specially selected for its location and unparalleled privacy, style and luxury. You are free to relax, stroll along your private beach, enjoy your private pool or spa, or enjoy various water-sports, at your own pace. Later, enjoy cocktails and a sunset cruise on a traditional Dhow sailing vessel. After a dinner of the finest seafood (or as you wish), with your own private butler and chef, we've provided exclusive entertainment with local acoustic guitarists in the tropical gardens of your romantic hideaway.
The next day it's an early start (alternatively, you could stay another day at your beachside residence) for a short flight to Nairobi International airport where you'll enjoy VIP transfers to your international flight back to London, where a Quintessentially chauffeur will be waiting to transfer you to your home.
