Elewana Collection, part of Minor Hotels group, has revamped Elsa’s Kopje Meru and Elephant Pepper Camp in the Maasai Mara.
Both properties have new spaces to wine and dine and renovated rooms styled to reflect their environs.
Elewana Chief Operating Officer Kieren Day says, “These renovations are more than just cosmetic upgrades – they’re about deepening the connection between guest and place”.
“Elsa’s Kopje and Elephant Pepper Camp are two of our most beloved properties, each with a distinctive spirit. These enhancements honour their stories while enriching every aspect of the guest experience.”
Elsa’s Kopje Meru
For those who love a sundowner at the end of a day of wildlife viewing, Elsa has a new in-house sundowner space, while an outdoor cinema screening the film, Born Free, will launch in coming weeks.
The camp’s spa has also been expanded, offering “a more spacious retreat for wellness rituals”, while all guest suites have new furniture, flooring and lighting that “accentuates the lodge’s organic architecture and expansive views”.
The expansive Private House has a luxurious new bath and redesigned outdoor shower, while the pools have been refinished with terrazzo tiles.
Elewana Collection Operations Manager Kenya Callum Oliver says, “Careful attention has been paid to ensure the refreshed Elsa’s Kopje still holds the heart and soul of what makes it so special”.
“Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, the updates enhance the comfort and elegance of the lodge without losing the deep connection to the wilderness and history of Meru.”
Elephant Pepper Camp
At Elephant Pepper Camp, a new culinary concept aptly named ‘Elephant and Pepper’ will draw inspiration from African bushcraft and global smokehouse techniques.
Traditional braai equipment ensures authentic preparation, while there will also be smoke-infused cocktails using foraged ingredients.
The arrival area has also had a refresh, as have guest tents, which have new furnishings that “retain the camp’s rustic elegance while adding modern comfort”.
