Masai Mara: Well-being and Spa

Many of the more upmarket safari lodges in the Masai Mara offer spa treatments. Saruni Camp offers its treatments in the Masai Wellbeing Space where treatments merge European beauty techniques with Maasai knowledge. At the end of a facial, for instance, you may enjoy a compress made using the leaves of an African relative of the sage bush soaked in water. Expect to pay from about £168 a night at this Masai Mara haven.

There are even companies that combine a week of yoga, aromatherapy and meditation with a safari in the Masai Mara, with the addition of walks in the bush with a local witch doctor. And if you’re on holiday with your other half, who relishes adventure, while you enjoy being pampered, a luxury lodge with spa treatments in the Masai Mara could be the ideal compromise.
