Slow down. Feel the ground beneath your feet and the sun's warmth on your skin. Smell the freshly brewed coffee and the dew-topped grass. Look - really look - at your surroundings; a shimmering lake and the cranes that wade at its shores; trails of ants navigating dirt roads and grazing herd, alert, as predators lurk.
This is the slow safari.
We have become disconnected from the true mysticism of nature, from the ancient energy that created us all, by our desire to understand everything. Perhaps we are afraid to just be and open up to the answers that weill come, but we don't have time to be still anymore" Fabia Bausch.
In traditional safaris - fast-paced and fully-scheduled, the true magic of nature is lost. Our Slow Safari philosophy. pioneered by Chem Chem co-founder, Fabi Bausch in 2011, seeks to remedy this with an experience that encourages you to slow down, spend time in one location, and in doing so, truly attune yourself to nature.
At Chem Chem, there are no schedules. There's no one to tell you when and what to do and no "right way" to safari. Slow safari lets nature speak for itelf as you explore the wilderness at your own pace.
No timetables - from game drives to meal times, you do what you want, when you want.
No tick boxes - games sightings are not for ticking off a list. Instead, slow down and absorb your surroundings, listen to the brid son, feeling the rain on your skin and revelling in encounters with the region's wildlife - without the rush.
No lectures - our guides are deeply knowledgeable and intuitive. They know when to stop explaining and to let the wilderness weave its magic.
Complete privacy - our properties are nestled within our exclusive-use protected wildlife areas. This affords a a private experience with no crowds, no shared game vehicles and no shared tables.
Connection - our experience is rooted in connection. Connecting with yourslef as you slow down and attune to the rhythms of nature. Connecting with your loved ones as you share unforgettable experiences and, most importantly, connecting with nature.
Wellbeing - Ponya Living captures the healing power of nature by combining health-led dining with restorative wellness rituals and immersive activities such as silent nature walks and running with the Maasai.
