Luxury Holidays At Sarara Camp

Tucked away in the remote folds of Kenya's Namunyak Community Conservancy, transformed over the last 30 years into a thriving refuge for wildlife by the Indigenous Samburu, Sarara Camp invites you to experience the true spirit of Africa, where luxury, the wilderness and community come together in perfect harmony.

With just six thoughtfully appointed tents and one exquisite two-bedroom house designed to blend seamlessly into the pristine surroundings, the camp promises an intimate and immersive journey into a land less discovered. Allow nature to be your alarm clock, as the dawn chorus and distant calls of wildlife mark the beginning of a new day. Boundless vistas of the majestic Matthews Range greet you as you step outside, where a refreshing natural rock swimming pool sits alongside a waterhole, an oasis of sustenance for the wildlife that roam all around. A collaboration of conservation and culture, the community-owned safari camp draws on the expertise of the local Samburu to host, guide and cook. And while extraordinary wildlife encounters feel almost inevitable, this luxury African escape delves deeper, fostering a transformative connection to the untamed wilds and its people.

Culture & History

At Sarara Camp, experiences are rooted in community and locally-led conservation. Here, thrilling wildlife encounters are just the beginning — you’ll also connect with the land and the Samburu people who call it home. Visit a traditional Samburu manyatta (homestead), a Nomadic Montessori School or Healthcare Programme, and witness the ancient tradition of The Singing Wells. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet orphaned elephants at Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, a pioneering, community-owned project that pairs wildlife protection with true community empowerment.

Maasai Mara National Reserve

The Maasai Mara National Reserve is renowned for its wildlife-rich savannahs (home to the iconic ‘Big Five’) that are often featured on acclaimed nature documentaries around the world. The Mara has an incredible ecosystem and life thrives here; with reliable rains and plentiful vegetation, it is no surprise that this national reserve supports millions of herbivores - including elephants, Masai giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, impalas and several species of gazelle. With such a mass concentration of game here, this accounts for high predator numbers, including cheetahs, leopards and the highest density of lions in the world!

Maasai Mara National Reserve
Olare Motorogi Conservancy

Bordering the Maasai Mara is the expansive Olare Motorogi Conservancy, home to an abundance of wildlife, including all the big cats for which the Mara is famous for. This wealth of wildlife provides a more exclusive view of game in this pristine environment. Also unique to the Olare Motorogi Conservancy is its healthy population of endangered species (such as elephants, rhino and wild dogs) due to its protection through sensitive tourism development. Therefore, it is no surprise that the Mara Plains Camp and Mahali Mzuri are situated on this exceptional conservancy.

Meru National Park

Experience one of Kenya’s most underrated gems, Meru National Park. Marred with mass poaching in the 1980s (which was brought to light in the film Born Free), the area is now well protected; the Born Free Foundation is devoted to preserving animal species across the globe and preventing extinction through conservation and education. Meru is also where you will fine Elsa’s Kopje, a boutique safari lodge accredited to saving this beautiful National Park, which has suffered with little or no income from visitors. The Park boasts enormous diversity of ecosystems and wildlife - including elephants, lions, buffalo, giraffe and much more!

Meru National Park
Culture

Your trip to Kenya isn’t just about its amazing animals; the people that live there make it equally as unforgettable, and their fascinating cultures will provide a truly enlightening experience. Whether you choose Mahali Mazuri or the Mara Plains Camp, meet the wonderful Maasai warriors as they tell you stories about their villages and their welcoming culture. Learn about traditions or visit a school - you will certainly enjoy every minute of this remarkable experience.

Culture
The Great Wildebeest Migration

Tick the Great Wildebeest Migration off your bucket list. Considered one of the ‘Seven New Wonders of the World’, the Masai Mara provides the perfect location to see this briliant phenomenon. Nowhere else in the world is there such a vast migration of animals; over two million mammals migrate from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the greener and pastoral plains of the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, from July through to October. The migration sees the animals travelling on a 1,200-mile odyssey, including a treacherous crossing over the Mara River where crocodiles lie waiting.
