At Hemingways Collection, we create unforgettable stays across East Africa’s most iconic destinations, on safari, by the ocean, and in the city. As a family-owned brand deeply rooted in place, we are known for personalised service, exceptional locations and an enduring commitment to conservation and the communities we work alongside.
Each of our six properties tells its own story. In Nairobi, Hemingways offers a refined city retreat, while Eden Residence provides an artistic sanctuary in Karen. On the coast, Hemingways Watamu is a coastal icon where barefoot luxury meets the Indian Ocean. In the Maasai Mara, Ol Seki delivers an exclusive safari in Naboisho Conservancy and Hemingways River Camp offers an intimate, heartfelt experience in the Mara North Conservancy. Marking an exciting new chapter, Hemingways Retreat Kigali, our first property outside Kenya, is a boutique sanctuary in Rwanda’s leafy capital, blending contemporary elegance with the character of the city.
More than a journey, every stay is an invitation to connect, with nature, with people and with the heart of each destination. These are experiences designed to stay with you, long after you leave.
Hemingways Safaris is one of East Africa's premier Destination Management Companies (DMCs). The company specialises in designing and operating safaris across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and Zanzibar, working as a trusted safari partner for international tour operators and travel agents.
We are delighted to unveil the refreshed Hemingways Collection brand, with a redesigned website, updated logos, colours, and a visual identity uniting all six properties.
Family owned and operated luxury hospitality and travel group, Hemingways Hospitality, has announced the acquisition of Richards River Camp, a pioneering eighteen bed luxury safari camp in Mara North Conservancy in the Masai Mara.
Luxury hospitality and travel group, Hemingways Hospitality, has announced its expansion into Rwanda through the acquisition of Heaven Holdings which includes The Retreat hotel, Fusion Restaurant, Heaven Restaurant and Heaven Boutique Hotel as well as Heaven Experiences, the company’s tour operating arm.
Four iconic boutique hotels in three exclusive destinations in East Africa, the family owned Hemingways Collection offers travellers the quintessential experience of a Kenyan safari and a luxury Indian Ocean retreat complemented by a relaxing and re-energising stay in the peaceful suburb of Karen in Nairobi.
We are thrilled to share our new images of the beautiful new Ol Seki.
As you will recall, we decided to completely renovate (almost rebuild) the bedroom tents and guest areas to elevate the guest experience and enhance the luxurious feel of the camp.
We are delighted to share Ol Seki’s exciting and refreshing new look which elevates the experience of staying at the camp substantially and, we believe, provides a new level luxury for camps in the Mara conservancies.
Hemingways Collection, a luxury boutique hotel chain in Kenya, announced the re-opening of its Hemingways Nairobi and Hemingways Watamu properties from the 24th of June 2020.
Hemingways Collection’s Group CEO, Alastair Addison, said the re-opening of both properties came after careful consideration of what it would entail to fully operate both properties while ensuring staff and guests’ health and safety needs are well catered for.
As the season begins to come to an end and the rains start arriving in the Masai Mara, it’s time for us at Ol Seki Hemingways Mara to take a little break and start our annual maintenance projects. You’ll recall last year we invested significantly in the back of house operations of the camp including installing a new solar power farm to completely remove the camp from grid and electricity power. This has been a huge success and has been extremely well received by our guests. We also built a new kitchen and we are delighted to see the improvement in our cuisine which has resulted from the improved kitchen facility. This year we’re looking at the front of house and the guest experience and to that end, we’re extremely excited to publicise, for the first time, some detailed information about our new pool which we have been promising.
