Umani Springs

A central main building that houses a large communal dining-come-bar area leads out onto manicured lawns and an inviting spring fed swimming pool. Built in the style of a Balinese an expansive wooden deck runs the length of the french sliding doors, overlooking the encircling forest surrounds.The camp is self catering, but food can be prepared by the staff on hand. The surrounds are like being in your own oasis, remote and tranquil overlooking the waterholes fed by the springs.

Three well appointed bungalows sleeping a total of ten people are spread around the property, A -frame thatch roofs and raised ever so slightly off the ground, with large fold back windows and doors to take advantage of the wild outdoors. Each of the bungalows are modern equipped and subtly decorated with natural, earthy colours highlighted by local fabrics and traditional artifacts to add atmosphere. Charming cobbled stone outdoor showers make you feel immersed into the bush in style and comfort.

The main attraction of being at the camp is the close proximity to the rescued elephants daily activities. Although there is not much else in terms of larger wildlife in the area watching the little elephants take their daily mud baths. A simple safari is also possible in the Kibwezi Forest and Chyulu Hills. Guided walks are also possible and do watch out of the different bird species in the area.
