Our Safari Lodges
in Northern Kenya
Explore Sarara’s four unique eco stays
Celebrating Northern Kenya’s wild beauty, ancient traditions and breathtaking contrasts, Sarara’s three remotely set ecolodges and mobile camp offer a unique perspective on this extraordinary landscape.
Ecolodge | Six en-suite tented rooms | Namunyak Conservancy
Sarara's main camp features six beautifully appointed en-suite tented rooms with solar-heated outdoor showers. The tents overlook the majestic Mathews Mountain Range, providing an exceptional vantage point from which to experience the 850,000-acre wildlife conservancy. The camp's waterhole is frequented by an array of wildlife, including elephants, buffalo, kudu, impala, leopards, African wild dogs, and reticulated giraffes.
Sarara Wilderness
Mobile Camp | Six en-suite tents | Wider Samburu Ecosystem
Experience the wilderness like never before – at Sarara's coveted mobile tented camp.
Up to six spacious en-suite tents with indoor heated bucket showers are set up exclusively in the heart of the wider Samburu Ecosystem, where the mighty Ewaso Nyiro River flows through this magnificent landscape.
Ecolodge | Eight en-suite tented rooms | Namunyak Conservancy
Nestled in an enchanted forest glade at the foot of Warges Peak, Sarara Treehouses emerge from an ancient canopy of trees. Eight spacious tented guest suites are raised into the lush greenery, allowing wildlife, including elephants and buffalo, to roam freely across the forest floor below. Each suite is en-suite – with solar-heated outdoor showers overlooking the breathtaking forest and towering mountains beyond.
Exclusive-use Ecolodge | Seven en-suite tented rooms | Namunyak Conservancy
An exclusive and private ecolodge blending naturally into the dramatic landscape, Reteti House features four standalone rooms, a family room, and a two-room family suite with a shared living space – all offering uninterrupted views. Just a 10-minute walk from Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, guests have a front-row seat to the extraordinary conservation work unfolding at this pioneering centre.
