Camp Details
Saruni Samburu has achieved iconic status for its stunning setting and the way that elements of authentic Samburu culture and community conservation have been seamlessly woven into the luxury safari experience.
As the pioneer safari lodge in the community-owned Kalama Wildlife Conservancy, Saruni Samburu paved the way for community-centred ecotourism in northern Kenya.
Consisting of just six guest villas, the lodge offers sweeping vistas over the unparalleled landscapes of northern Kenya. With access to both the Samburu National Reserve and the Kalama Conservancy, Saruni Samburu offers ample opportunities to encounter the legendary elephant herds that traverse this terrain, and spot endangered species including the ‘Samburu Special Five’.
Saruni Samburu provides the perfect setting for luxury family safaris and unique insights into the potential for community-based tourism.
The ultimate luxury safari lodge in northern Kenya, Saruni Samburu continues to offer a window into a world that you might otherwise never discover.
WHY CHOOSE SARUNI SAMBURU?
- The lodge overlooks a vast private wildlife sanctuary called Kalama Conservancy, and has exclusive access to the surrounding 200,000 acres of pristine, protected wilderness.
- The Samburu are the indigenous nomadic tribe and custodians of the area where the lodge is found.
- It uses eco-design in an architecturally fascinating and innovative way, where it is built into and round a giant volcanic rock face, high up with unbelievable views.
- Saruni Samburu is the only lodge in Kalama Conservancy, and the sole source of income for the communities found in the area. Since its opening, Saruni Samburu has provided jobs, income, training and guidance for the local Samburu people in the area.
