Sarara Camp
Sarara Camp offers an intimate, exclusive safari experience in the Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy, nestled within Kenya’s Mathews Range. This community-owned camp provides guests with luxurious accommodations and immersive cultural interactions amidst a pristine wilderness.
Life in Camp
Perched on the slopes of the beautiful Mathews Mountains, Sarara Camp features six spacious en-suite tents, each with solar-heated outdoor showers and panoramic views of the 850,000-acre conservancy. The camp’s waterhole attracts a variety of wildlife, including elephants, buffalo, kudu, impala, leopards, wild dogs, and reticulated giraffes. Guests can enjoy unrestricted game drives led by knowledgeable Samburu guides, offering insights into the region’s indigenous species. Additional activities include guided walking safaris, horseback excursions, and visits to the nearby Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, providing opportunities to engage with conservation efforts firsthand. Sarara Camp’s commitment to sustainability and community empowerment ensures that each stay contributes directly to the preservation of this remarkable ecosystem and the well-being of its indigenous inhabitants.
Timing Your Trip
Sarara Camp offers exceptional experiences year-round. The dry seasons, from January to March and June to October, provide optimal wildlife viewing as animals congregate around water sources. During these months, guests can also witness the Samburu “singing wells” in full activity. The wetter months of April, May, and November bring lush, green landscapes and vibrant birdlife, appealing to photographers and nature enthusiasts. Each season presents unique opportunities, ensuring a memorable visit regardless of the timing.
