At Sarara, guests have the rare opportunity to witness this centuries-old tradition, offering a window into one of the continent’s most well-preserved cultures – an experience few outsiders ever see. Providing a glimpse into the profound relationship between Indigenous people, their livestock, this arid landscape and its wildlife, the Singing Wells are unique to Samburuland.

Shining a light on different facets of the magic that defines Sarara, our signature itineraries each offer their own rhythm, focus and sense of discovery. While designed for a range of travellers and interests, they remain entirely flexible– and able to be shaped around each group’s personal tastes, curiosities and pace.

Perched dramatically on the edge of a cliff overlooking the sweeping Sarara Valley, this private-use lodge is your personal haven of calm and quiet sophistication in the heart of Namunyak Conservancy’s untamed wilderness.

Bush breakfasts and dinners at Sarara aren’t just meals – they are gatherings. Small and intimate, yet full of heart. And full of flavour, too. Out here, in the wild heart of Samburu, each setting is pure wilderness; every soundtrack is filled with birdsong and laughter; and meals all unfold as unscripted celebrations.

Grounding the wild beauty of Sarara’s exclusive mobile camp with his calm leadership, there are no bounds to Sammy’s passion for the landscapes and wildlife surrounding this tented retreat in the heart of the bush.

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.
