Kenya Retreat

Amboseli & Watamu

Private custom retreat

Recommended time: Feb/March, August- October

Discover Kenya’s stunning biodiversity on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure

Experience the vast and splendid biodiversity of Kenya. You are invited to join us on a journey over 2 distinct and unforgettable landscapes. We begin in the tranquil atmosphere of an award-winning eco-lodge and private conservancy in Amboseli National Park. Delight in Big 5 safari drives, bountiful local produce, spacious private suites, and lingering sunsets. We then fly to Kenya’s coast, to explore a different shade of paradise; white sand beaches, turquoise waters, a mangrove estuary, and the handcrafted Watamu Treehouse towers that offers 360 degree views of magnificent wilderness.

Anticipate a journey with…

Private game drives

Amboseli is on the south-eastern border between Kenya and Tanzania. This is a national park and vast protected wilderness area. Within it are 3,000 acres of private conservancy, which is Tawi Lodge. We will have privately guided safaris daily, including a night drive, bush dinner and guided walk. Look out for Big 5 game and the iconic, endangered, Super Tusker elephants.

Saving the Super tuskers

Super tuskers are African bull elephant with tusks that weigh >45kgs each. There are only a handful left, and all are in Kenya. They are targets for poaching due to the extraordinary value of their ivory tusks. They roam over vast distances. Amboselli is a natural corridor for some of the last Super Tuskers left on earth. Conservation fees go directly towards efforts to protect and save them.

Yoga in wild nature

Travel with a specialised InRetreat guide and enjoy daily yoga sessions in nature. In Amboseli, enjoy yoga with views of a watering hole where elephant, giraffe and other antelope come to drink. Treehouse has a dedicated purpose-built yoga space. There are also opportunities for yoga on a SUP and yoga on the beach. If you prefer to travel without a yoga guide, you can benefit from Treehouse’s resident yoga teacher and on-going yoga classes.

Tidal float through a mangrove forest

If there is a new moon or full moon during our stay in Watamu, there will be a tidal flood through the protected marine estuary and mangrove forest close to Treehouse. On the morning after the new/full moon you can ‘float’ with the tide as it rushes out to sea! We’ll then have a Swahili breakfast on a white sand beach. This award-winning experience can only happen with the full and new moons.

Gaudi-esque Treehouse tower

Watamu Treehouse comprises of two hand built multi-story treehouse towers, situated on the edge of the tropical beach of Watamu. The towers boast original glass art and mind-blowing design that merges owner Paul’s love of nature, yoga, and Kenyan culture. It is a beautiful place to stay, and each corner, each step, offers up a unique story, artfully crafted as part of a labour of love.

Eco-tourism and Sustainable travel

Both locations we visit are environmentally conscious destinations. Both locations have a low carbon footprint, and are involved in community engagement programmes. Tawi offers a 100% off grid experience. Both lodges serve fresh, locally-sourced produce, thus minimising environmental impact and maximising flavour and nourishment for their guests.
