Wilderness Collection’s iconic destination to set new standards of sustainable luxury tourism
Kenya, one of East Africa’s premier safari destinations, has just welcomed a unique new destination for the ultimate safari experience. Segera Retreat, a new iconic property on Kenya’s Laikipia Plateau that will set new standards for sustainable tourism and inspire its guests through personalized luxury experiences, has just opened its doors.
Segera Retreat, which has also just won the much coveted Newcomer Award 2013 at ITB in Berlin, one of the world’s largest tourism trade shows, inspires and engages guests through private luxury experiences. A part of the Wilderness Collection, the newly completed camp promises to be an absolutely unique destination within Kenya, characterized by exceptional attention to detail, craftsmanship and a rigorous implementation of sustainability practices. The activities offered – each tailor made and facilitated through a personal Villa Attendant – include day and night game drives, picnics and sundowners, guided walks, children and family activities, a wellness centre including a gym and spa, sleep outs and many more.
In addition to offering exceptional game viewing and other unforgettable experiences, a visit to Segera provides other unique opportunities to engage with a range of conservation activities that are ongoing both on Segera itself and in neighbouring community areas. Guests may want to actively contribute to reforestation efforts by planting indigenous trees in the ‘Wangari Maathi Memorial Forest’ at the Zeitz Foundation Headquarters or a local school, or take part in daily tracking and monitoring activities of the endangered Patas Monkey or Grevy’s Zebra.
In the midst of Kenya’s fascinating biodiversity and wildlife, luxury at Segera still takes front and centre. Six timber and thatch villas – each individually curated with art from Africa’s most inspiring artists and featuring a large bedroom and en-suite bathroom, a private sun deck in the garden with sun loungers and a Jacuzzi bath. The gracious Segera House and perfectly positioned Villa Segera boast spectacular views and even greater privacy and luxury. Run on solar energy, with water being sustainably harvested and recycled, the villas gaze out over the Laikipia Plateau towards the spectacular Mount Kenya.
Guests are further spoiled for choice with a spa, gym and central pool offering an outdoor dining area with a deck and sun loungers. Meals and private dining are served al fresco in a number of locations throughout the Retreat. The superb cuisine comprises Segera’s unique 4C dining menu, which provides guests with a variety of delicious and healthy meals. All of this is complemented by Segera’s outstanding service.
