Situated in a remote valley on a hill side at an altitude of 2000 metres above sea level, Saruni lodge is a deluxe, intimate designed lodge set in a conservation area bordering the Maasai Mara National Park. Built to eco standards, Saruni has a close partnership with the local community and it’s surrounding habitat. Personally hosted, Saruni is a highly personalised experience coupled with high standards of style and comfort
The intimate camp has 6 elegant cottages with spacious private verandas. Each cottage is individually furnished with colonial antiques, African art and Persian carpets. All are well equipped with large beds, hot and cold running water, electricity, and en suite bathrooms with stunning panoramic views.
A wide variety of wildlife is regularly sighted in the grounds of the camp and there are excellent opportunities for 4x4 and walking safaris. All safaris are led by experienced guides and trackers who will ensure that you get the most out of your experience. Bush dinners and visits to neighbouring Maasai villages are also a firm favourite with guests.
