A visual gallery of Sir Richard Branson‘s latest luxury retreat, Mahali Mzuri – Masai for beautiful place – situated within the Olare Motorogi Conservancy in the East African Plains of Kenya.
A few fast facts extracted from the recently published article in the Financial Times, “Camping with Branson” by Carole Cadwalladr: http://c2m.tl/13oFUU2
- Mahali Mzuri officially opens August 1st, 2013.
- Richard Branson was made a Masai elder in 2007 – “an honour rarely bestowed on anyone who isn’t a Masai by birth”.
- The Olare Motorogi Conservancy was established to protect the land, negotiate the land rights with the 270 Masai leaseholders, set up a community trust and strict quotas.
- There are a total of 12 “tents” at $995 per person/per night during high season.
Life, death, gore, wild African animals, the survival of the fittest – and cappuccino. You don’t even have to move off the sun lounger next to the infinity pool to see the circle of life playing itself out… – Carole Cadwalladr
