Saruni Mara

Discover the exceptional eco-lodge Saruni Mara in the Masai Mara North Conservancy, Kenya where the wild roams free.

Set among the rolling hills of the Mara North Conservancy and surrounded by indigenous forest, Saruni Mara is a refined luxury eco-lodge offering a peaceful and intimate escape in the Maasai Mara. Recently refurbished, the lodge combines traditional East African character with contemporary comfort, while its elevated position provides sweeping views across the surrounding savannah.

Accommodation includes five beautifully upgraded safari cottages, a dedicated family villa and an exclusive-use private villa, making Saruni Mara well suited to couples, families and small groups. Thatched roofs, natural materials and thoughtfully designed interiors create a warm sense of place, while modern amenities ensure a comfortable stay.

Beyond the lodge, guests can enjoy excellent wildlife viewing within the Mara North Conservancy, a quieter and more exclusive alternative to the main reserve. The lodge also places a strong emphasis on conservation and community, supporting initiatives that benefit local Maasai communities while helping protect the wildlife and landscapes of the conservancy.

Evenings are spent around the fire in the welcoming lounge, sharing stories over drinks as the sounds of the bush settle in. Whether enjoying a romantic escape, family safari or private group experience, Saruni Mara combines beautiful surroundings, thoughtful hospitality and a genuine commitment to the people and wildlife of the Mara.
