Congratulations Markus!
This year we held a big giveaway for florists with the ultimate price beingรย a two-night visit to Kenya worth รขโยฌ5,000. It includes a stay at the Mount Kenya Safari Hotel in Nanyuki, a visit to the Tambuzi farm to see where David Austin cut roses are grown and a safari to meet the Big 5, including all meals and return flights for two people.
A luxurious stay at the Mount Kenya Safari Hotel
รขโฌลWith magnificent views of majestic Mount Kenya, the Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club Resortรขโฌโขs 120 luxuriously appointed hotel rooms, set in over 100 acres of landscaped gardens, offer a unique blend of comfort, relaxation and adventure.
รขโฌลIts no wonder this Nanyuki resort emerged a winner in the 2013 Travellers Choice Awards and that Travel & Leisure Magazine often positions it in the รขโฌหWorldรขโฌโขs Top 50รขโฌโข List. Originally the retreat of movie star and Club founder, William Holden, the Clubรขโฌโขs illustrious former members have included Winston Churchill and Bing Crosby. รขโฌล
A magnificent view to behold, the prestigious main structure reflects the 1950รขโฌโขs colonial architectural design with a luxury country club feel, complemented with independent quaint cottages.รขโฌย
A game drive through the Ol Peteja conservancy
รขโฌลFrom a working cattle ranch in colonial Kenya, to a trailblazer of conservation innovation รขโฌโ the story of Ol Pejeta is as enchanting as it is inspirational.
รขโฌลToday, Ol Pejeta is the largest black rhino sanctuary in east Africa, and home to three of the worldรขโฌโขs last remaining northern white rhino. It is the only place in Kenya to see chimpanzees, in a Sanctuary established to rehabilitate animals rescued from the black market.รขโฌย
The conservation of the natural habitat, located in Kenyaรขโฌโขs Laikipia Plateau, ensured the protection of existing rhino, elephant, and other wildlife populations in addition to captive chimpanzees living in a 300-acre sanctuary.รขโฌย
And a special visit to the Tambuzi farm
รขโฌลTambuzi isรย an ethically run business with one simple goal รขโฌโ to produce the very finest garden scented roses that money can buy. Tambuzi hasรย a range of over 50 carefully selected varieties of roses รขโฌโ each one chosen for their exceptional colour, scent and shape.
รขโฌลIn the mid 1990s, Tim and Maggie Hobbs รขโฌโ a young and dynamic couple with Kenyan roots, came across a beautiful, derelict farm on the foot hills of Mount Kenya only miles from the equator. The 64 hectare farm, originally a dairy and beef farm, was up for sale and with its perfect conditions for growing roses the Hobbs bought and developed it into what it is today: a specialist supplier of traditional garden scented roses- the only one in Kenya.รขโฌย
Tambuzi uses the best practice methods possible to ensure that there are no negative impacts on the integrity of the environment. Tambuzi isรย proud to be one of only five รขโฌหgoldรขโฌโข certified members of the Kenya Flower Council.รขโฌย
Enjoy your trip to Kenya, Markus!
