Set in Namunyak Community Conservancy, which was shaped by the bold vision of Samburu Elders three decades ago, Sarara’s ecolodges are deeply entrenched in this Indigenous-led success story.

When an accident left him paralysed from the neck down, doctors told Pius Lenakukuya he’d never walk again. Fast-forward to today, and Pius is not only walking, but also fulfilling his life’s calling as a Field Guide, driving all over Namunyak’s wilderness, and inspiring Samburu children with his resilience, strength, and humility.

In a significant milestone towards low-impact, sustainable tourism, some of Sarara’s game-drive vehicles were recently converted to become fully electric – marking an exciting transition to emission-free safaris!

Sarara Wilderness – the latest addition to our portfolio of unique stays in Kenya’s remote northern expanse – encapsulates the most magical elements of an exclusive safari under canvas. This one-of-a-kind mobile camp is set in the wildlife-dense wider Samburu Ecosystem.

If you’ve ever had the pleasure to spend time with Mark Lenanyankerra – one of Sarara’s most beloved guides – you’d have seen this landscape through his eyes, while being transported by his captivating stories and memories!

Nestled in a hidden corner on the slopes of the dramatic Mathews Mountains in Kenya’s northern frontier, an ancient forest glade provides the perfect opportunity for an unforgettable stay high among the treetops.
