Was it really only 35 years ago that Robert Redford, Meryl Streep and Sydney Pollack captured our hearts in the Academy Award winning Out of Africa?
Answer: Yes.
To celebrate this notable anniversary of an instant classic, Sanctuary Retreats, a resort group with luxurious destinations all across Africa, is hosting a special package at Sanctuary Olonana, a safari camp in Kenya — very near to where Out of Africa‘s Masai Mara scenes were filmed.
From June 1 until December 15, 2010, guests can request the all-inclusive Out of Africa Package, which includes:
- Safari-style luxury tented accommodations
- Game drives (from the Big Five to spectacular wildebeest migration, Sanctuary Olonana is in the heart of Kenya’s big game country)
- Three meals daily
- Out of Africa picnic and al fresco spa treatment at the famous film site in homage to the memorable hair washing scene of Karen by Denys
- A traditional bush dinner with outdoor Out of Africa film screening under the stars at banks of the Mara River
There can’t be a more literal way to live out your Out of Africa fantasy. Additionally, guests staying for four or more nights between June 20 and September 30 will receive a free hot air balloon ride followed by a complimentary champagne breakfast (a $460 value).
Rates for the “Out of Africa” all-inclusive package start at $389 per person per night. Click here to book.
