Kimaro Farmhouse is situated in Burgundy, in the French department Nièvre, approximately 200 km south of Paris. Scattered across our land you ́ll find several luxury safari tents. These stylish tents have been carefully finished with a wooden frame which creates an atmosphere and look reminiscent of the distant colonial past. Each safari tent is located in a stunning piece of meadow where you can enjoy optimal space and privacy. Our motto is to keep things to a small scale and to offer the highest quality. From the tent you look out upon the beautiful rolling hills of Burgundy and enjoy the ultimate country life in a luxurious way. Each safari tent is extremely spacious and beautifully furnished, peppered with hints of Africa. Experience this magnificent outdoor life in comfort and style, and find true rest and relaxation!

Robby en Manja first met at Kimaro. Robby is a photographer and is travelling annually to Africa to work on a photographic art project, in which he is capturing the African animal world in a unique and authentic manner. He has been living permanently at Kimaro Farmhouse since 2011. By setting up this property in France, he has been able to mix his passions of the great outdoors and Africa into a wonderful cocktail. You’ll notice this in the holiday cottage décor, which is dotted with African accents. The holiday cottage bears the name Twiga House. This name comes from the Kiswahili, the language most spoken in East-Africa and which means “giraffe”. Kimaro is a word, which was inspired by the Kiswahili language. His dream has come true – setting up this Burgundian farmhouse, a heavenly place where you’ll find rest and space and where he can fully enjoy the beauty of the Burgundian landscape with Manja. Kimaro Farmhouse stands for quality, small scale and authenticity. There are only 5 luxury safari tents on the estate, which are spaced far apart to give all guests maximum privacy.

Kimaro Farmhouse is situated amongst rolling meadows. In the morning you’ll be greeted by our ‘neighbours’, the Charolais cows, for which Burgundy is so famous. From the property, you can take a sandy trail into a gigantic forest - perfect for a long walk, or mountain-bike ride. Culturally, Burgundy is one of the most interesting regions of Europe and is the wine region of France. Aside from this, Burgundy offers one of France’s most beautiful and diverse landscapes, and where joy and tranquility are king. The picturesque French villages, castles and landscapes in our immediate surroundings will truly delight you.
