Cheli & Peacock Safaris, a collection of award-winning
boutique safari camps and lodges in Kenya, is offering a fresh, new take on the
traditional bush picnic. Upping the ante a few couple thousand feet, they have
arranged for adventurous couples to helicopter to the top of Mount Kenya for a
romantic picnic lunch.
The breathtaking ride over Kenya’s sprawling wilderness is
topped only by the dramatic location of the picnic – couples will feel like
they’re on top of the world. Upon arrival, plush blankets are spread and the
picnic basket unpacked. The picnic lunch consists of crisp salads and herbs
from the camp’s on-site gardens, freshly baked breads, and for dessert:
homemade Danish Layer Cake. Fine South African wines and bubbly accompany the
meal, with coffee and tea to finish.
From Elsa’s Kopje, a spectacular lodge in Meru National
Park, the helicopter trip to Mount Kenya is just 45 minutes. Trips may be also arranged
from any of the C&P Portfolio’s properties including Joy’s Camp, LewaSafari Camp, Loisaba Lodge and Kitich Camp.
Mountain-top picnic excursions to Mount Kenya are available starting
from $430 per person per hour, depending on helicopter size, number of
passengers, distance, etc. If they wish, guests may also indulge in light
hiking and/or fishing at Lake Alice, located on the Northern slopes on the
Mountain. Helicopters can accommodate up to six guests, and as with all C&P
Portfolio properties, children are welcome. Excursions should be booked in
advance, preferably at the time of reservation.
