Emmy & Peabody award-winning Journalist Jeff Koinange’s lifestyle is one that leaves Kenyans in awe.
From his lighting a cigar to filling his glass with champagne, he lets Kenyans in on his world, and adventures.
The talk show host recently travelled to Masai Mara where he fell in love with the Loirien, an exclusive three-villa retreat.
The portfolio online reads as 3 private villas along the scenic Oloololo Escarpment.
It consists of three villas: Loirien, Kulaal, and Naika that can be rented as individual villas or combined three to rent the entire unit.
The description on Jeff’s new video on YouTube reads; “Sheila, the Chief Happiness Officer at Loirien, shares what makes this exclusive retreat in the heart of the Masai Mara truly special. From luxurious villas to unforgettable adventures, Sheila reveals why Loirien is the ultimate destination for relaxation, exploration, and connection with Africa’s breathtaking beauty. Discover the magic of Loirien through her eyes,”.
The Association for the Promotion of tourism to Africa claimed the property was listed this year.
Jeff has received raving reviews about his Masai Mara trip.
