GREAT RIFT VALLEY – SOUTHERN KENYA
The adventure begins in Kenya, at the southernmost tip of the Great Rift Valley, within the vast expanse of the Olkirimatian conservancy.
Raw, boundless, unspoiled… The landscape is adorned with acacia forests, crystalline springs and volcanic escarpments.
A sense of the world’s first morning…
Atop a ridge, facing the Shompole mountains, stands Lentorre Lodge, the only haven of peace for thousands of kilometres around.
You will spend 4 nights in one of its delightful villas.
In the canopy of fig and tamarind trees, birdlife chatters and stirs, a mix of migratory birds and endemic species.
And all around you, across highlands and plains flooded with light, life teems with exceptional biodiversity, as if at the dawn of time.
Wildlife is richly represented here, for genuine encounters during your 4×4 or walking safaris: large herds of zebras and impalas, colobus monkeys, vervets and baboons, lions, hyenas and leopards, not to mention giraffes, elephants, and majestic buffalo…
The pulse of the elements is everywhere, in the foaming waters of the Ewaso Ngiro river, on the sulphurous shores of Lake Magadi and Lake Natron, in the songs of Maasai warriors and the shimmer of the Milky Way…
Magic at every turn!

DENIS ISLAND – SEYCHELLES
At the same latitude, far to the east, stretch the turquoise blues of the Indian Ocean. An isolated speck within the Seychelles archipelago, Denis Island is a haven bathed in crystalline lagoons and untouched seabeds. The Mason family has watched over this atoll for decades, working to protect it.
Your 4-night castaway stay takes place in the comfort of a chalet set directly on the beach, fringed with casuarina, badamier and takamaka trees.
Nature and simplicity are elevated to the rank of luxury in this truly exceptional hotel.
Here, there are no signals or antennas: internet, cable and television are absent from the island.
Connections are, above all, human, and free of artifice.
In the sky, terns, frigatebirds and white-tailed tropicbirds mingle with endemic forest species. Seychelles magpie-robins, paradise flycatchers, fodies and warblers…
All blend their melodious trills in joyful flutters of wings.
On land, a century-old lighthouse, a chapel with its wooden cross, a forgotten cemetery… and always the preserved soul of an exclusive Eden.
Giant tortoises amble along, nodding their heads. It is not uncommon to encounter them while walking or cycling along the paths.
Their marine cousins prefer the pristine beaches, true nurseries during nesting season. Always a moment of wonder…
At sea, corals, clownfish, parrotfish and manta rays colour the underwater life of the reef flats, while sharks, swordfish and barracudas occupy the depths of the nearby drop-off.
A wonderful escape…
