What do a cackle, a kettle, a parliament, and a prickle have in common? Or a confusion, a quiver, and a coalition? Turns out Mother Nature has a wonderful sense of humour – they’re all collective nouns for wildlife. Who knew words could go on safari!

From the moment you arrive at Sarara Camp, Michael Mukutu and Ann Naipiman make you feel completely at home, welcoming you into the heart of Samburu with such sincerity that you immediately feel like part of the family.

Tucked away in the remote beauty of Northern Kenya, Sarara is more than a safari destination – it’s an invitation to step into a world where a rugged wilderness, age-old culture, and spirit of connection weave into unforgettable journeys.

As a treasured guest activity at Sarara’s ecolodges and camps, stargazing allows time to stand still as you appreciate the immensity of the universe in full.

No sunset in Northern Kenya is ever the same, and we continue to be awed by the beauty of Sarara’s landscapes as the light settles. In the past few months, these were just some of our guests’ top sunset experiences in Namunyak Conservancy and the wider Samburu Ecosystem.

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.
