The chef has been trained in good Italian home cooking and specialises in carefully prepared homemade pastas, a Tortilis speciality. Over three hundred species of birds live in the area, including waterfowl which inhabit the year-round springs in the camp grounds.

Every year, driven by a force incomprehensible to man, nearly two million wildebeest and zebra cross the Mara River from Tanzania to graze on the lush grass - a wildlife spectacle unrivalled anywhere in the world.

It is on the Koyiaki group ranch adjoining the Mara that Cheli and Peacock have their Elephant Pepper Camp. The eight-tented private camp is hidden in a grove of Warburgia ugandensis trees and offers visitors fully en suite facilities. You are spoilt by friendly, attentive staff who bring you steaming hot water for your canvas bucket showers, prepare sumptuous meals and offer you your favourite ice cold cocktail as you relax around the camp fire in the evenings.

During your stay, explore the area in 4x4 safari vehicles in search of the Big Five. Enjoy an exciting and interesting guided nature walk to see the smaller, yet no less intriguing inhabitants of this incredible eco-system where everything down to the tiniest beetle plays its part. Afternoon game drives include sunset drinks and a return drive to camp after dark, giving you the chance to catch a few of the nocturnal creatures emerging such as the aardvark, bush-baby and genet cat.

Day Seven

Enjoy a morning at leisure before your early afternoon flight to Mombasa Airport. On arrival you will be met and transferred to Ocean Sports.

Ocean Sports was founded in 1952, when Ian Pritchard called into Watamu and decided to set up a drinking hole on the beach and called it ‘Ocean Sports’. The original boat he sailed in still stands prominently in the bar and many fishermen tell a tale around this famous boat. The walls of the bar display some of the famous and elaborate catches from the ocean where the resort resides.

Ocean Sports has grown over the years but remains one of the few privately owned establishments. The hotel has been taken over, but the new owners are passionate to maintain the overall "feel and charm” making changes to enhance Ocean Sports from a hotel to a boutique resort. The hotel sits on a stunning section of the Indian Ocean Beach front with breathtaking views of the Ocean from the new veranda and deck area. This beach is protected by the National Marine Park
