Emboo River in Kenya – ultimate glamping in the bush
Kenya, oh my... A dream holiday! On safari in the Maasai Mara nature reserve, experience the Masai culture and, no less important, sleep in a base camp in the middle of the bush. If this isn't the ultimate glamping is, we don't know anymore either. Dozing off to the occasional sound of a hippo and a lion growling in the distance. Where to go in beautiful African Kenya? We know! On to Kenya, that's 1. And then sleep at Emboo River if it's up to us...
In the middle of the Masaai Mara in the bend of the Talek River lies a pearl that you will admire. Emboo River Camp. From your room (or rather your luxury glamping safari tent) you look straight onto the river where hippos live and wild animals come to drink. It could happen that you wake up with a herd of elephants in front of your face. Emboo River is the very first complete one Eco Lodge immediately 'closed loop system'. What does that mean? Here in the bush they use renewable and local sources such as solar energy, electric vehicles, biological filtration and waste water reuse. Nice! On safari in silence it is and that is quite special. No rumbling cars and dirty air. And let's not even talk about the tents… my oh my. A luxury, that's what it is. Llocal craftsmen have made the furniture in the tents from gumpoles Emboo River Plantation and you shower under the rain shower with sustainable products from Cinnabar Green made in Kenya itself. There are Masai details everywhere. For example, you have jewelry that is used to hold the mosquito net together and the fabrics are in African colors and prints.
In addition to the sleeping tents, there is also one large tent where you can relax and have breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can of course also do this on your own terrace, but it is highly recommended head into the savannah for a bush breakfast or lunch. Surrounded by the animals - you can suddenly see a rhino or wildebeest walking by while you're eating. And all ingredients come from local entrepreneurs and their own organic vegetable garden. We'd like to see that.
Bringing kids? No problem here at Emboo River! Baby cots and children's beds can be placed in the tent. The safari can also be adjusted to make it extra fun for the little ones. But let's face it, who wouldn't be happy to see it? wildlife right in front of you.
Are you getting the jitters yet? Here we have even more reasons to pack that suitcase and fly to Africa.
