C&P and Elewana up the ante with a merger

of Cheli & Peacock Group of Companies by the Elewana Collection,

which received final Government approval at the end of January 2015.

The acquisition will see the Cheli & Peacock properties, namely, Elsa’s

Kopje, Elephant Pepper Camp, Joy’s Camp, Tortillis Camp, Kitich Camp

and Lewa Safari Camp merge under the banner of the Elewana Collection

to form a comprehensive circuit of 14 properties spanning the highlights

of Northern Tanzania, Kenya and Zanzibar.

The table below shows the full extent of the portfolio that will fall under

the Elewana Collection:

Elewana Collection under the leadership of Stefano and Liz Cheli.

Stefano and Liz will focus on innovations within the Company to

enhance its offering as a destination experience manager.

The merger of the Cheli & Peacock’s Portfolio with that of the Elewana

Collection is now underway and we envisage a formal launch of the

newly-merged Group by the middle of 2015. In advance of the launch we

will provide you with details of any changes that may occur to the booking

and reservations process. In the meantime it is very much business as

usual and therefore please continue to make your reservations for the

respective properties as you currently do.

For the Elewana Collection, we would like to take this opportunity to

inform you that the rates for 2016 and 2017 will be available imminently.

These will remain static – for the two years in question – in order to

provide some degree of pricing visibility and much-needed stability in

what has been a turbulent time for East African tourism.

It only leaves us to say a big ‘thank you’ to all our trade partners

and suppliers for your continued support to both Cheli & Peacock and

Elewana. We believe that the combination of Cheli & Peacock’s

long-standing history and experience of safaris and that of our now

enhanced regional product offering will deliver a truly genuine and

memorable destination experience for all our mutual clients.
