Luxury & Exclusive Access

The safari features a collection of intimate lodges and camps, which all offer exclusive access to explore private wildlife conservancies.

Lewa Wilderness: At the heart of one of Kenya’s most famous conservation success stories: The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. Lewa Wilderness is one of Kenya’s original private safari experiences and has been the Craig family home since 1972 where they proudly continue to entertain their guests.

Saruni Samburu: The most stunning eco-design lodge perched high above, overlooking Kalama Community Wildlife Conservancy, bordering with Samburu National Reserve, and offering exclusive access to the surrounding 200,000 acres of pristine, protected wilderness.

Saruni Mara: The smallest permanent lodge in the Masai Mara, nestled in a hidden valley in Mara North Conservancy with the wide open game plains to the south and lush forest to the north.

Saruni Wild: The smallest tented camp in the Masai Mara. Tucked away on the border of Mara North/Lemek Conservancies right in the heart of the Mara eco-system, totally immersed in the amazing plains game wildlife.

 

 


Exciting Wildlife Encounters

Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is 62,000 acres of savannah, forests, gorges and mountains amidst the colourful Laikipia plateau in Northern Kenya. Famous for its abundance of game, and being a privately owned reserve, it rivals the best wildlife experiences in Africa. In fact, over the last twenty years, Laikipia is the only part of Kenya where wildlife numbers are increasing. Lewa is home to 15% of Kenya’s total rhino populations and a significant proportion of the remaining global population of Grevy Zebra. Not to mention being home to over 400 bird species making Lewa an all-round excellent game viewing destination.
 
The area around Saruni Samburu is teeming with wildlife – from the giant herds of Samburu elephant coming to drink at the waterholes, leopard making their lairs on rocky outcrops nearby, to endangered packs of African wild dog seen traversing the plains below the lodge. The area is also home to rare endemic species, the Samburu Five: Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich and gerenuk.
 
The Mara Serengeti ecosystem, of which Mara North Conservancy is part, has the highest density of predators and plains game of any wilderness in the world, and is home to the most thrilling, awe-inspiring natural spectacle on the planet – the Great Migration. Game drives are action-packed and guests are guaranteed incredible and unforgettable wildlife encounters.

Unique Activities

This safari experience offers plenty of unique activities to choose from…

Participate in a programme called ‘Warriors Academy’, where guests learn the survival skills of the revered Maasai warriors – taking part in teaching in the same way as a junior warrior learns to track animals and craft tools on the plains of the Masai Mara.

Visit local community enhancement projects as well immerse yourself into the conservation activities happening on a daily basis. These may include meeting the anti poaching security guards as well as witnessing the sniffer dogs in training, visiting the elephant corridors or even heading out and about with the local vet.

Game drives and night drives, guided bush walks, camel safaris, horseback riding, visits to the local caves, a flight in East Africa’s only open cockpit biplane, lounging at the infinity pools, having a massage, picnic breakfasts or bush dinners, or star-gazing.

Inspiring Focus on Community

These lodges are one of the only sources of income for the nearby communities. Tourism directly supports conservation by giving back to the community who protects the beautiful land, improving their quality of life, while at the same time encouraging the purpose for conservation.
