When milestones deserve more

Two destinations elevating the occasion

Choosing where to celebrate a milestone is about more than geography; it’s about atmosphere. Both Mahali Mzuri and Finch Hattons create a powerful sense of occasion from the moment guests arrive.

Mahali Mzuri, Virgin Limited Edition’s luxury safari camp in the private Olare Motorogi Conservancy - part of the wider Maasai Mara ecosystem - places guests at the heart of one of Africa’s richest wildlife regions. Elevated tented suites overlook sweeping plains, offering a front‑row seat to the Great Migration at certain times of year and a feeling of complete immersion in nature: an inspiring setting for milestone birthdays or once‑in‑a‑lifetime achievements.

At Finch Hattons, in Kenya’s Tsavo West National Park, the experience is equally striking yet distinctly different. With Mount Kilimanjaro often visible in the distance, natural springs flowing through the property and elegant open‑air design, Finch Hattons offers a refined safari atmosphere that suits anniversaries, vow renewals and multi‑generational family celebrations.

Tailor‑made experiences for every milestone

One of the defining features of both Mahali Mzuri and Finch Hattons is the ability to design celebrations around each guest - no two milestone holidays are ever the same.

Private game drives can be customised to suit your pace and interests, whether that means seeking out the Big Five, spending extended time with elephant herds or enjoying slower, photography‑focused safaris. Highly experienced guides adapt each day to create experiences that feel personal and unrushed.

Beyond the safari holiday, thoughtful details elevate milestone celebrations:

• Champagne breakfasts in the bush to mark birthdays or anniversaries
• Sundowners overlooking vast wilderness, perfect for toasts and speeches
• Private dining under the stars or by the campfire
• Personalised touches arranged seamlessly

From celebrating a landmark birthday to honouring decades of marriage, the emphasis is always on creating moments that feel authentic and memorable.

Ideal for couples, families and groups

Milestone celebrations often bring together couples, families and friends, sometimes across generations. Mahali Mzuri and Finch Hattons are designed to accommodate this effortlessly, for unforgettable family holidays.

Spacious suites offer privacy and comfort, while shared areas encourage connection. Days can be spent on safari together, followed by afternoons relaxing by the pool, at the spa or on a private deck. Evenings naturally draw guests together around the fire, sharing stories beneath the African night sky.

For significant celebrations, both properties also offer the option of exclusive or partial use, ideal for milestone birthdays, family reunions or anniversary gatherings where privacy and flexibility are essential.

Wellness, reflection and meaningful moments

Milestones are as much about reflection as celebration. The wilderness settings of Mahali Mzuri and Finch Hattons provide space to slow down and reconnect.

At Finch Hattons, the spa and natural springs create opportunities for wellness experiences that complement safari adventures, including treatments, yoga and moments of quiet relaxation. It’s a particularly fitting environment for anniversary trips or vow renewals, where balance and intention are key.

Mahali Mzuri offers its own sense of stillness: early mornings watching the plains awaken, evenings listening to wildlife calls from your deck, and uninterrupted views that encourage presence and perspective. These moments often become just as memorable as the celebrations themselves.

Celebrating with purpose

Choosing a safari destination for a milestone celebration also means contributing to something bigger.

Both Mahali Mzuri and Finch Hattons are deeply committed to conservation and community partnerships. Stays support wildlife protection, sustainable tourism and local development initiatives, allowing guests to celebrate their own milestones while helping safeguard Kenya’s natural and cultural heritage.

For many guests, this added sense of purpose brings even greater meaning to a celebration holiday, and special occasions.
