Kempinski Hotels and Simba Hospitality first announced their partnership almost a year ago, in June 2012, which would see Europe’s oldest luxury hotelier enter the Kenyan market, operating the tented luxury camp, Olare Mara Kempinski Masai Mara, and the 200-room five-star city hotel, Villa Rosa Kempinski.
