Hollywood Star Salma Hayek Pinault Enjoys Ishara Kenya Spoils

Mexican Telenovela film star Salma Hayek Pinault recently visited Kenya and she chose a luxurious camp, Ishara Kenya for her stay. It is against this backdrop that Ishara Masai Mara rates came up.

With her beauty and brilliance, the ‘Teresa’ star actress chose to honour her vacation promise at the iconic Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya’s Rift Valley. Salma doubles up as a writer, film director and producer starring in famous Mexican telenovelas and other major Hollywood films.

Her stay at Ishara Kenya felt more like home than just a vacation destination. The one-time Oscar nominee ventured into the wide plains and submerged in the sights and sounds of the African savanna. She captured the beautiful surroundings of the Maasai Mara and enjoyed the eco-efforts of the camp.

Zahra Madhani owns this camp tucked in the Mara. Together with her son Azhar, they redefine the rules of tourism in Kenya. Madhani’s devised an ingenious plan of organically growing all of its food in magnificently constructed towers nearby, next to an indigenous forest.

Zahra always wanted to grow her food and the tower concept got her the best pick to produce foodstuff for her camp. It is during a conference in Amsterdam that the aeroponic towers concept came about. She immediately launched it upon her return to Kenya. Amazingly, her towers stretch to about 120 square metres.

A total of 36 aeroponic towers each with 44 pods largely dictate Ishara Masai Mara rates. All of the 36 towers produce 1,584 each month translating to about 200 kg of fresh vegetables, such as peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and herbs.

The organic growing of foodstuff here promotes safe agricultural practices and delicious meals for her guests. Christened the Shamba of Goodness, solar panels dot the tops and powers up the camp. Rainwater irrigates the towers and this farming method reduces land degradation.

Where Is Ishara Mara Located?

Ishara Kenya is at the Masai Mara National Reserve. Besides the adventurous game drives in the vast reserve, the camp has a walk-around tour package. They pick all fresh vegetables and designate a chef to prepare a special salad for them. A tower tour is of the things Salma enjoyed as far as Ishara Masai Mara rates go. She is an advocate of diversity and environmental conservation much as she is a glamorous film star.
