The luxurious Bilila Lodge Kempinski opened yesterday (1 June) in the Serengeti National Park, one of Tanzania’s UNESCO World Heritage sites and one of the world’s most romantic holiday destinations, renowned for its awe-inspiring natural beauty and the annual migration of the wildebeest, which is currently underway.
While it may have been an exciting day for Kempinski, 2009 is a great year for the Serengeti, as it marks 50 years since the Tanzanian Parks Authority was created to oversee and protect the national parks, 50 years since Mary Leakey's famous discovery of "Homo Habilis" and 50 years since Serengeti Shall Not Die was awarded an Oscar for Best Documentary Feature.
And to help celebrate both its opening and the Serengeti’s 50th anniversaries, Bilila Lodge Kempinski has unveiled a special offer – stay for three nights, pay for just two – to entice visitors to holiday in this idyllic new hideaway. Valid till 30th September 2009, rates start at 500 Euros for two people sharing per night inclusive of full board, 20% VAT and a 5% service charge.
As an added temptation, Bilila Lodge Kempinski’s sister hotel Zamani Zanzibar Kempinski is offering “seven nights for the price of five” over the same period, so that guests can enjoy the complete Tanzania package: the ultimate safari experience and a luxurious beach holiday on the exotic spice island of Zanzibar.
These two offers can be booked either on their own or together, but there are certain conditions attached, which are detailed below:
·Neither offer can be combined with other promotions of special offers, other than the ones stated here
·The offer is valid on new reservations only, with arrivals during the inclusive period, namely 1 June to 30 September 2009
·The offer is based on the room rate only and does not include extras, such as transfers from and to the airstrip, games drives etc.
·The offer is only valid on request and subject to availability.
With just 74 rooms (including two private villas), Bilila Lodge Kempinski perfectly combines the intimacy of a lodge and the facilities expected of a much larger hotel, such as several different dining options (indoor restaurant, poolside, moonlit barbecues in a traditional BOMA – open air cooking area), an infinity pool overlooking the grasslands and a watering hole where wild animals come to drink, and an Anantara Spa.
Other public areas include a lounge, a bar, a wine cellar, a conference room accommodating up to 40 people, a library, a games room with full-size billiard table, a fitness centre, an art gallery and gift shops. All the guest rooms have luxury ensuite bathrooms, satellite TV and radio channels, coffee/tea making facilities and a teak deck for relaxing while watching game (personal telescope included); suites have their own private plunge pool.
“Whether people speak English or Russian, Swahili or German, they’ll stand there, speechless, and take their neighbour by the hand when, for the first time in their lives, they watch on as twenty thousand zebras and hundred thousands of wildebeests trek across the endless plains.” Serengeti Shall Not Die, filmed in 1959.
