Sarara Camp
Set on the slopes of the Mathews Mountains in Samburu, Sarara Camp welcomes connection with a remote wilderness and the wildlife calling it home.
Set within the spectacular Namunyak Community Conservancy, Sarara Camp offers an authentic wilderness experience surrounded by 850,000 acres of protected landscape and the dramatic Mathews Mountain Range. The camp features six spacious ensuite tents, each with uninterrupted views and solar heated outdoor showers. Two tents are connected by a private path, making them ideal for families.
For those seeking complete privacy, the exclusive two bedroom Sarara House offers a plunge pool, private dining, generous living spaces, and sweeping views across the wilderness.
Inspired by the earthy colours and textures of northern Kenya, the camp's interiors reflect the region's rich heritage while providing understated comfort. Wildlife is never far away, with animals regularly passing the tents and gathering at the nearby waterhole, which can be enjoyed from the dining area and infinity pool.
Guests are immersed in the culture of the Samburu people through exceptional cuisine, local traditions, and meaningful cultural experiences. Their pioneering conservation efforts have transformed Namunyak into one of Kenya's most important wildlife sanctuaries, home to elephants, leopards, Reticulated Giraffe, Grévy's Zebra, wild dogs, kudu, the distinctive gerenuk, and an abundance of birdlife.

Why this Camp..?
(According to Google Reviews)
Sarara Camp is highly acclaimed for its deep cultural immersion, community-led conservation, and stunning wilderness views rather than dense wildlife viewing. Guests consistently praise the welcoming Samburu staff, the breathtaking infinity pool overlooking an active watering hole, and the adjacent Reteti Elephant Sanctuary.
Key highlights and consensus from guest reviews include:
Stunning Vibe & Location: Perched in Northern Kenya’s Namunyak Conservancy (near the Matthews Range), visitors are frequently blown away by the camp’s design and the dramatic mountain views.
The Infinity Pool: Guests specifically rave about the rock-built infinity pool, which sits just meters from a watering hole where elephants and giraffes frequently drink.
Wildlife Expectations: Reviewers note that animal densities are lower here compared to traditional hubs like the Maasai Mara. Stays focus more on raw nature, walking safaris, and unique sights like singing wells.
Reteti Elephant Sanctuary: A short walk from the lodge, the sanctuary allows for intimate, hands-on interactions with orphaned baby elephants being cared for by the local Samburu community.
Cultural Immersion: The authentic connection with the Samburu people is a massive standout. Guests love the guided bush walks, visits to the Singing Wells, and evening sundowners shared with the local rangers.
