KENYA:

Mara Porini - recently been set up in the exclusive wildlife conservancy of Ol Kinyei, one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in the Serengeti-Mara eco-system. This is pristine wilderness with open savannah plains, riverine forest, springs, streams and rivers, rolling hills and spectacular views across the Mara. Ol Kinyei belongs to a Maasai community who has recently set aside the conservancy as a sanctuary for wildlife. The conservancy holds a wide variety of the animal species for which the Mara is famous including a large resident pride of lions.
 
Amboseli Porini - consists of nine spacious tents, sited among shady Acacia Tortilis trees, in a spot once favoured by big game hunters. The camp is small and exclusive, accommodating a maximum of 18 guests. It is set up along the lines of the traditional hunting safari bush camp, so there are no permanent structures like bar or restaurant or swimming pool – this is real camping in the bush, but with much more comfortable bathroom arrangements than were available to the hunters of earlier years! The tents are large and comfortably furnished, each with a double and a single bed, solar-powered electric lights, and en suite bathroom with shower, washbasin and flush toilet.
 
Diamond Beach Village  - offers an alternative to the concrete hotel, more of a rustic Robinson Crusoe experience. We work very closely with the local Swahili people taking into account their culture and only using local methods and materials to create a refreshing, eco-friendly, alternative style holiday. The Village is situated on the island of Manda, which is the sister island to Lamu. The lodge is located on the beach front with amazing views of the open ocean, Lamu island, Shela village and dhows sailing past. It is the perfect place to come and relax for days or weeks, away from the stresses and strains of everyday life.

TURKEY:

Terra Villas - for the past seven years the Terra Villas have been a very successful and popular summer destination for discerning visitors. The owners would now like to offer the same opportunities to autumn, winter and spring guests.  There are four individually designed stone built houses, set in pine woodland on a hill above the small village of Ataköy, not far from the ancient settlement of Idyma-now Gökova village Peace and tranquility are assured for our guests, apart from the occasional visit from silver foxes, badgers, red squirrels, tortoises, wild boars, crickets and birdlife.

Casa Inlycia - consists of  two village houses next to each other, both around 80-100 years old. They were renovated to suit the short-and long-term stays of responsible travellers who would like to be on their own in the midst of the calm, wild nature of the West Tauruses. Gokceovacik, the village where Casa Inlycia is located, is a mountain village in the south-west corner of Turkey, close to Göcek. People living in Gokceovacik lost their economic base when the chrome mines in the region were closed down. The aim of establishing Casa Inlycia was to develop a good example for the villagers so that they could come to realize the natural and cultural values around them and to put these to economic use. In the rehabilitation of the houses, only the local workmanship and local construction techniques were used; the houses were not shaped according to the habits of city-dwelling travellers, opting instead for arrangements the villagers were accustomed to and could therefore easily reproduce.
