Camp Details
The camp’s name, Zarafa (meaning Beloved One), is a nod to the story of the first giraffe to be taken from Africa to Europe as a gift to King Charles X of France. Zarafa Camp pays homage to this story of this iconic African wildlife species.
Today, the Dhow Suite at Zarafa is a stunning, private 210-square-meter (2,260-square-foot) 2-bedroom suite on raised decking under flowing canvas. Entering through the wooden Lamu door, exclusivity takes on a new meaning.
Although secluded, it is only a few minutes walk from Zarafa Camp.
At Zarafa Camp, guests can enjoy a beautifully appointed spa. However, they can also enjoy a range of treatments in the privacy of their suite or on the open-air deck alongside their private swimming pool.
WHY CHOOSE ZARAFA DHOW SUITES?
• Under a canopy of ebony trees, the main camp area offers a sizable main lounge, library, dining area and bush boutique.
• Entering through the wooden Lamu door, exclusivity takes on a new meaning.
• Zarafa means “the beloved one” or “the lovely one” in Arabic.
