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?

• Sarara is the only place in the world where one can view this magical and timeless tribal tradition.
• The African wild dogs are frequently encountered in the Sarara valley too. Elephant, buffalo, giraffe, gerenuk, impala and warthogs are now regularly seen on our bush walks and are very much on the increase in numbers.
• After dinner around the camp fire, guests spend the night under the stars from the comfort of their own mosquito net tents. The complete exclusivity of the Star Camp means that guests can fully immerse hemselves in the absolute peace and serenity of this remarkable wilderness.
