Rift Valley & Lamu Retreat
Kenya | 13 - 22 November 2025
A journey of perfect balance ~ safari & sea, adventure & rest
Deep in the heart of the Great Rift Valley is an oasis, fed by crystal clear springs running off the Loita and Ngurumann escarpment, forming an abundant, unfenced natural corridor for the passage of more wildlife species than anywhere else in East Africa. Here, you are invited to disconnect from the pressures of the everyday and immerse yourself in a vibrant ecosystem, with the UNESCO protected healing salt-water lakes of Natron and Magadi in the distance. Then, we fly to Lamu Island, a stunning tropical paradise, with endless white sand beaches and mellow sunsets over the Indian Ocean. Feel energized with exclusive adventures and cultural encounters, feel aligned with daily yoga and meditation, and feel pampered in luxe, handpicked eco-lodges.
Anticipate a journey with…
Masai culture
Stay on land responsibly leased from the local Masai community, and be delighted by colourful cultural encounters including a ‘Boma’ visit to meet local elders and community members who play a pivotal role in tourism and conservation in the area. The lodge staff is 95% local Masai and so every day is an opportunity to learn and discover.
Next level luxury
Both locations are 5-star, boutique and handpicked by Nina. Our safari lodge has suites each with their own private plunge pools overlooking the Rift Valley. In Lamu, we’ll have views over the Indian Ocean, and access to private beaches and dinning areas under the stars. Both locations pride themselves on their ecological friendliness and local, seasonal produce.
Epic Adventures
Aside from daily guided safari drives, we have many epic excursions planned. Anticipate hikes with a Masai guide in the Nguruman escarpment and Loita hills; half-day tours to Lake Natron and Lake Magadi, a day-trip through the Lamu archipelago on a private dhow (‘wooden sailing boat’), a kayak trip to a mangrove forest, and not to mention the safari charter flights!
Expert & safe travel planning
Every aspect of this 10 day wilderness retreat has been expertly planned. We believe that in order to receive the magic of travel and nature we have to be in the right mindspace. We invite you to let your mind rest and your body feel energised - access the present moment and drink in the magnificent views knowing that every minor and major detail is taken care of, from accommodation to activities to all transport and catering.
Conservation in action
Lentorre lodge is on 23,000 hectares of privately owned land, known as the Olkiramatian Conservancy. The bordering ranch, Shompole Conservancy, comprises 60,000 hectares. We will have access to both properties for safari drives and walks with the freedom to roam and no other vehicles or lodges nearby. A huge portion of the costs for staying here go directly to the preservation of these pristine wilderness areas.
Wellbeing & relaxation
Thrive on daily yoga and meditation in inspiring settings with Nina. Let the rhythm of your breath and body in mindful movement soothe you and open your heart to the unique magic of Kenya. This retreat experience is going to be totally immersive - an invitation to you to disconnect from the pressures of everyday life, and reconnect with your wild-ness.
