British billionaire, Richard Branson, of Virgin Galactic, has gained another badge of honour after his Kenyan hotel was voted the best worldwide.

A report by Travel + Leisure Magazine, a global travel publication, noted that a majority of its readers ranked the hotel, Mahali Mzuri Safari Camp, located in Masai Mara Game Reserve, as the world's number one hotel.

The magazine revealed that Branson was inspired to set up the hotel in an attempt to help conserve the wildlife in the area as well as impact the lives of the local community.

The hotel has 12 well furnished tents that can accommodate 2 guests each, bringing to total 24 guests at any given time.

Inside each tent, guests are treated to an ensuite private bath, cozy bedding, leather furniture for lounging, grand clawfoot soaking tubs, and expansive windows and doors.

Each tent has a massive deck that offers exclusive views of the sprawling Savanah grasslands.

"Due to Mahali Mzuri's excellent location on the Kenyan plains, you'll have a front-row seat, not just to the annual great migration, but also to the abundant game you can see all year round.

"Our super stylish tented suites make for the perfect retreat during your stay. We can cater for up to 24 guests in the camp at any one time, so you are guaranteed peace and quiet, as well as excellent customer service at all times," reads a description of the hotel on its site.

A night at the hotel ranges between Ksh190,000 for a solo traveler, and Ksh330,000 for two depending on the season.

The hotel prides itself in providing an array of services with the best being game drives.

"A number of lion pride territories meet in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, which can make for some interesting encounters as the different groups battle for dominance."

"The area is also home to roughly 150,000 Loita wildebeest that don't make the annual migration south and seem content to 'loiter' all year round! Of course, one of the biggest draws to the area is the annual 'Great Migration', which sees up to one million wildebeest plus hundreds of thousands of zebra, gazelles, and other game undertake a journey of roughly 1,600km through Tanzania and Kenya," continued the statement.

Branson recently made a successful trip to the space through his company Virgin Galactic.
