Sarara Tree, Samburu National Reserve, Kenya

A Tented Camp in Kenya

Camp Details

In the Northern Frontier District of Kenya lies the Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy, an area of 850,000 acres of pristine wilderness encompassing the Mathews Range of mountains. The savanna plains and lush mountain slopes are home to elephant, leopard, reticulated giraffe, wild dog and kudu in ever increasing numbers. This remote and dramatic landscape is also home to the local Samburu people whose age-old traditions, including the famed ‘singing wells’ are as much a part of the fabric of this land as the wildlife.

Opened in 2018, Sarara Tree is nestled into a forest glade at the foot of Uarges mountain, one of the seven Samburu sacred mountains. The 8 tents are built on a platform in the tree canopy giving a unique experience of wildlife walking underneath.

WHY CHOOSE SARARA TREE?
