Saruni offers unique and authentic safari experiences – an exciting and varied range of unforgettable activities, from the adventurous to the luxurious, the thrilling to the tranquil.

Saruni Mara Camp invites its guests to a warm and friendly camp that houses 6 fantastic cottages where a maximum of 12 guests can be catered for each time. Found in a private conservation area, Saruni Mara displays magnificent views of the Masaai Mara. The camp is also strategically placed in front of a gorge that is filled with a number of animals from time to time. Some of these can include Buffalo and Elephant and makes for exciting game viewing for our guests.

The cottages at Mara Saruni are furnished with beautiful antiques and rich Persian rugs & with a touch of African art. Each cottage is equipped with hot and cold running water, electricity, wooden polished floors and bathroom fittings. The bathrooms have large canvas fronts that open out onto the views of the plains so that guests can enjoy showers whilst taking in the sights and sounds of the Mara. Each cottage also comes with its own verandah from where guests can sit and relax as they watch the animals come to the nearby waterhole.

Saruni Mara has one family villa, one private villa and five cottages, and is the only small boutique lodge in the Mara, making it very intimate and exclusive. The beautifully decorated and individually themed rooms have a classic safari feel, with luxurious bathrooms and showers with a view.

The lodge is tucked away in a secluded valley in Mara North Conservancy – a private and exclusive 74,000 acre wildlife concession bordering the Masai Mara National Reserve, the world’s most naturally rich wilderness. Encounter the abundant wildlife away from the crowds and uninterrupted by other vehicles.

Enjoy the Italian-inspired cuisine, the relaxed and elegant atmosphere and being immersed in nature from your private veranda, the Maasai Wellbeing Space and the open lounge and dining area. Discover an array of unique and exciting activities to enjoy in total exclusivity.

The Mara North Conservancy is one of the oldest of the Mara’s conservancies and, taken as a whole, has the most camps. Yet from Saruni Mara your first few hours’ game drive are delightfully quiet – with few other vehicles around to interrupt your game sightings. Saruni is also located near a small village, which gives your stay here a more rounded experience than that of just wildlife. Each day you pass by a community – and in doing so learn a little about the way of life here.

At Saruni Mara, guests can choose to enjoy game drives or guided bush walks, enjoy meals out in the bush or watch the sun set as they sip on their favorite Sundowners.

Guests can relax at the Masaai well-being Space spa or get absorbed in the history of Africa at the library. The camp can organise drawing safaris (advance booking required) for artists to hone their skills in this beautiful environment, and younger guests will enjoy the “warrior for a week” program where they can learn various bush skills such as how to throw a spear and how to track different animal species.
