In a world where safari travel can be reduced to ‘bucket-list ticking’, Ahnasa Luxury Travel stands apart, curating experiences that are as meaningful as they are exclusive. Specialising in bespoke journeys that weave together luxury, authenticity, and sustainability, Ahnasa is redefining high-end travel by connecting discerning adventurers with hand-picked destinations in Africa that leave a lasting impact – both on their treasured guests and the places they visit.

A Passion-Driven, Women-Led Vision

What makes Ahnasa truly unique is the powerful mother-daughter duo at its helm. As a women-owned and led company, Ahnasa is driven by a deep, shared passion for conservation and transformative travel experiences. Despite being a small but mighty team, their influence in the luxury travel space is undeniable. Their hands-on approach ensures that every journey is intentionally designed, working with trusted suppliers and lodges that offer the best in exclusivity, alongside social and environmental responsibility.

With Ahnasa, luxury is always in the details!

The Art of Bespoke Travel: In-Action

At the heart of Ahnasa’s philosophy is a commitment to personalisation. Every journey is tailored to the desires of the guest, ensuring a deeply immersive experience that goes beyond the ordinary.

Luxuria Lifestyle is delighted to be able to experience this first-hand, with our own bespoke trip to Kenya, focusing on safaris at the intersection of exclusivity and sustainability. An exciting itinerary put together seamlessly by Ahnasa pairs two distinct yet complementary camps: Tumaren and El Karama’s Nilotica House, each offering a unique perspective on Kenya’s breathtaking landscapes, wildlife, and culture.

One of the main reasons Ahnasa chose these camps for this exclusive trip is that they have sustainability, conservation and positive community impact at the heart of their operations, something critical for this trip.

Ahnasa, with their expertise in the area, combined these camps also because of the logistical ease of moving from one to the other, another key element that was required for this short but exciting trip, to prioritise more time at each property and memorable experiences.

So let’s understand a bit more about the properties being visited:

Tumaren Camp

The first visit will be to Tumaren camp for two nights. Hidden within the vast wilderness of Laikipia, Tumaren is an intimate camp that epitomises understated luxury in the wild. This secluded retreat is run by the dedicated team behind Karisia Walking Safaris, offering guests a rare chance to explore Kenya’s wilderness on foot.

Tumaren Camp is part of a 10,500-acre conservation area that is managed by the Karisia team, who are all local to the area. It is an ideal retreat for multi-generational families looking for an exclusive and intimate safari experience. With its small, private setting, one group can easily take over the entire camp, ensuring a truly personalised and unforgettable adventure in the heart of Laikipia.

Activities are plenty, from guided walks to top-rope rock climbing, visiting the local markets and schools, and playing ultimate frisbee against a local team of primary school students. Of course, not to forget exciting game drives for wildlife enthusiasts!

Nilotica House, El Karama Lodge

The journey will continue at El Karama for two nights, a family-owned luxury eco-lodge set on a private conservancy renowned for its thriving biodiversity. This award-winning lodge is a pioneer in responsible tourism, combining high-end hospitality with a firm commitment to conservation and community empowerment.

Nilotica Private House, an exclusive-use area of the Lodge where we will be staying, offers unmatched privacy, luxury and stunning views of the surrounding conservancy which is perfect for families and small groups of up to 10 guests looking for that next level of exclusivity.

Guests at El Karama experience the ultimate in barefoot luxury, with stylish cottages crafted from natural, locally sourced materials, farm-to-table dining, and immersive wildlife encounters that support conservation initiatives. Whether tracking lions on thrilling game drives, visiting the lodge’s organic farm, or engaging with the local community, every element of a stay here is designed to inspire and educate. For thrill-seekers, helicopter trips and even horseback adventures are available to unlock new ways to safari.

A Perfectly Paired Safari Experience

By combining Tumaren and El Karama in this exclusive itinerary, Ahnasa Luxury Travel offers a rare opportunity to experience two contrasting yet consciously connected safari experiences.

What is Luxuria Lifestyle most looking forward to? Connection and Adventure! Ahnasa understands the need for this experience to be deeply immersive, allowing us to reconnect with nature, wildlife and people at a more intimate pace, whilst still having all the adventurous activities that make safaris so unique and memorable.

Stay tuned for our full review of both properties and experiences soon, and for those seeking to craft their own bespoke safari adventure, Ahnasa invites you to explore, dream, and discover with them!
