Celebrating Northern Kenya’s wild beauty, ancient traditions and breathtaking contrasts, Sarara’s four remotely set ecolodges and mobile camp offer a unique perspective on this extraordinary landscape.
Ecolodge | Six en-suite tented rooms | Namunyak Conservancy
Sarara Camp has six beautifully appointed en-suite tented rooms with solar heated outdoor showers. The tents overlook the majestic Matthews Mountain Range, providing a fantastic platform by which to experience the 850,000-acre wildlife conservancy. The camp’s waterhole is frequented by an array of wildlife including elephant, buffalo, kudu, impala, leopard, wild dog and reticulated giraffe.

Up to six spacious en-suite tents are available with indoor heated bucket showers – set up exclusively in the heart of the wider Samburu Ecosystem with the mighty Ewaso Nyiro River flowing through this magnificent landscape.
Ecolodge | Eight en-suite tented rooms | Namunyak Conservancy
Nestled into a forest glade at the foot of Warges Peak, the Sarara Treehouses emerge from the ancient forest canopy.
Eight beautiful tents are raised up into the forest, allowing an array of wildlife including elephants and buffalo to roam the forest floor beneath you. Each tent is en-suite, with solar-heated outdoor showers looking into the forest.
