Chef-led, fully private dining tailored to preference. Great Plains is known for plant-forward menus using Kenyan produce, elegant plated courses or family-style feasts. Picnic breakfasts/lunches are common on full-day drives and dinners may be set in the wine room, on the rooftop lawn, on the deck, or by the firepit.
15-kg soft duffel for bush flights; neutral layers; swimsuit for the pool/steam/sauna; gym shoes; a light fleece and windbreaker for dawn drives; spare fast SD cards; a lightweight linen set for rooftop dinners.
Plan one full-day drive with picnic breakfast and lunch deep into the Reserve. Book a cellar tasting before dinner then rooftop-lawn stargazing service. You can time one evening for a media-room movie with nightcaps.
Great Plains Foundation’s Conservation Roots re-plants indigenous trees for habitat restoration and community food security, working with local schools. Optional visits to local women’s enterprise groups (e.g., Maa Trust / Naboisho Women’s Group) can be arranged from the villa.
