Saruni

Saruni Basecamp are delighted to confirm that a 25-year management agreement has recently been signed with the Masai Mara Lemek Landowners Conservancy Ltd, which ensures continued support for both tourism and conservation through a reliable conservancy model for many years to come.

Author, photographer, friend of the Samburu people and true Kenya legend Nigel Pavitt has passed away after a long, productive, inquisitive, adventurous, travel-filled life that lasted 85 years.

We are thrilled to announce that we have successfully extended our Lease Agreement for 15 years with our local community partners in Sera, re-enforcing our continued commitment to invest in the land and conservation efforts in the area through tourism.

On behalf of Sera Community Conservancy in Northern Kenya, Saruni lodges & camps is delighted to share the news that a new male rhino calf was born in the Sera Rhino Sanctuary on 18th May 2021.

After an in-depth, lengthy evaluation and selection process, Saruni is delighted that two of its iconic activities have been inaugurated into Kenya Tourism Board’s 2021-2022 ‘Magical Kenya Signature Experiences’ Collection.

Flexibility is the name of the travel game these days – so at Saruni lodges & camps, Kenya, we’ve been limbering up! Due to ongoing travel-related restrictions, we have just revised our Booking Procedures, Terms and Conditions & Cancellation Policy.

Saruni in Kenya has launched an appeal asking past & future guests, friends and supporters to play a direct part in its conservation mission and to 'adopt' one or more conservancy acres for a year with a donation starting from US$35.

More than ever before, the link between people, land, and wildlife is today critical to the future of conservation. An engaged, employed community, owning and managing wildlife habitats, incentivized to preserve pristine land through tourism revenue is at the core of responsible-tourism.

Saruni is proud to share its first collection video showcasing the magic of its four authentic and intimate lodges; Saruni Mara, Saruni Wild, Saruni Samburu and Saruni Rhino – together in this beautifully-shot 3-mins’ film. Watch it HERE. Shot by the talented videographer Laura Scatena, the video captures the essence of the Saruni experience in all its aspects: accommodation, activities, staff, landscapes, indigenous cultures, abundant wildlife and much more.

Located in nearby Namunyak Conservancy in Northern Kenya, guests staying at both Saruni Samburu or Saruni Rhino can easily visit the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary – a pleasant half-day excursion away in The Northern Express. Not only an incredible addition to any Saruni safari but one of the best ways to safeguard the wildlife in the area, as well as supporting the local community dedicated to protecting them.
