Be as chilled or as active as you like at this super-chic, eco-friendly lodge in the private Kalama Conservancy in Kenya's Samburu Nature Reserve. You're in a world of your own here, as Saruni Samburu is the only lodge in this 200,000-acre (81,00-hectare) unspoiled wilderness. The villas are open and spacious, with views that really do deserve being described as panoramic, and the animals are spectacular. See the "Samburu Five", a handful of rare animals endemic to this ecosystem – gerenuk, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, Grevy's zebra and Beisa oryx, and a host of other species your Samburu warrior guide will identify.
