Savanna and Dulini extend 2020 rates for travel into 2021

Savanna Private Game Reserve and The Dulini Collection will be extending their 2020 rate for bookings made now, until 31 August 2020 for travel anytime in 2021.

By holding the 2020 rate for 5 months of booking time, we hope that our core markets will not only take advantage of the rate hold, but will also make the most of the much weaken ZAR, to assist with closing new business.

In addition to this, we are introducing a special:

15% discount off contracted 2020 accommodation rates for travel from Aug 2020- 31 March 2021 
Subject to the following terms:
•    Travel dates from Aug 2020- 31 March 2021.
•    Min stay 3 nights or more subject to availability.
•    Cannot be combined with any other special offers.
•    Applies to new bookings only


Due to the current global uncertainty, we do not feel we can implement firm 2021 rates or policies at this time and will review at a later stage. We will also gladly offer date changes to any of these new 2021 bookings, should this Pandemic continue into 2021.

For the remainder of 2020, The Dulini Collection reserves the right to operate from one lodge, due to logistics and safety for our staff and travellers, unless booking demand dictates otherwise.

New Infinity Swimming Pool at Hemingways Ol Seki

Great News!
Hemingways Ol Seki new infinity pool is complete and open for use.

The brand-new infinity pool is all ran entirely off-grid by the lodge’s solar farm. With some of the best views in the Mara overlooking a beautiful watering hole and the Koiyaki plains, Hemingways Ol Seki Mara’s new pool will be the perfect vantage point for game viewing from the comfort of a lounger or a deck chair, with G&T in hand.

Maintaining Ol Seki’s character, charm and authenticity, the new pool was built into the rock – traditionally common sunbathing spots for the lodge’s friendly rock hyrax – offering a calm and peaceful retreat, tucked below the main camp.

The new area will be an oasis of luxury for guests to soak up the sun and recharge in between game drives, while the beautiful new fire pit and seating area will be an ideal and rather magical spot for those traditional evening Mara sundowners.
