A Family Safari Like No Other: Chui and Simba Villas at Hemingways Ol Seki

Introduction
A safari in the Maasai Mara is often imagined as an experience for adults, yet at Hemingways Ol Seki it becomes an adventure for all ages — a story written together as a family. The Chui and Simba Villas have been created with connection and comfort in mind, offering the rare privilege of a private home in the heart of the wilderness. Blending exclusivity, space, and the warmth of personalised service, they are ideal for families seeking a truly private safari without compromise.

Space, Privacy, and Comfort in the Wild
Set high on a ridge within Naboisho Conservancy, both villas overlook vast, untouched plains teeming with wildlife. Each villa features multiple ensuite bedrooms, spacious indoor lounges, and expansive verandas that open out to panoramic views of the Mara. Private plunge pools offer a serene retreat between game drives, a place to cool off while watching giraffes or zebras wander by. Families can gather for long, lazy lunches or candlelit dinners prepared by their dedicated private chef, who crafts menus around your preferences. With a personal butler attending to every detail, life in the bush becomes effortlessly relaxed. Designed to feel both luxurious and homely, the villas are sanctuaries of calm, where the rhythm of nature replaces the pace of everyday life.

Exclusive Safaris with Private Vehicles and Expert Guides
Guests of Chui and Simba Villas enjoy exclusive use of their own safari vehicle and professional guide, ensuring each day unfolds entirely at their own pace. Whether it’s a dawn drive to follow a pride of lions, a leisurely afternoon with elephants by the river, or a spontaneous stop to watch hippos wallow, the experience is shaped by your family’s interests and curiosity.

For children, guides bring the bush to life through storytelling, wildlife tracking, and fun lessons about animal behaviour and conservation. Every drive becomes an opportunity to discover — not just the animals, but the magic of exploring together.

Meaningful Family Adventures
Beyond the game drives, Hemingways Ol Seki offers experiences designed to inspire and connect families to the land and its people.

• Bush picnics beneath acacia trees, with meals freshly prepared by your private chef.
• Tracking lessons, where young explorers learn to read animal footprints and signs.
• Storytelling evenings around the fire, listening to Maasai legends that stir the imagination.
• Junior ranger activities focused on wildlife, ecology, and conservation.
• Stargazing under crystal-clear skies, guided by your ranger, a moment of quiet awe before bedtime.
• In-villa massages or downtime by the plunge pool, perfect for parents seeking rest while the children play.

Each day offers a balance of adventure and ease, as active or as relaxed as your family desires.

Creating a Shared Story
The real magic of Hemingways Ol Seki lies in the moments in between, a child’s first sighting of a lion, laughter over breakfast as the sun rises, the glow of a lantern-lit dinner after a day exploring the plains. These are the memories that shape family stories and remain long after the journey ends. Here, luxury takes on a different meaning: it’s the freedom to explore together, the comfort of space to unwind, and the deep connection to nature that makes every moment feel meaningful.

Conclusion
At Hemingways Ol Seki, family travel is reimagined through space, privacy, and heartfelt hospitality. The Chui and Simba Villas combine private plunge pools, dedicated chefs, and exclusive-use safari vehicles and guides to create a safari that feels entirely your own. Every stay becomes a shared story,  one of adventure, connection, and discovery , written against the timeless backdrop of the Maasai Mara.
