Saruni Mara

In a peaceful, secluded valley in Kenya, rests an intimate, boutique lodge in the heart of the Mara: Saruni Mara. Within a private wildlife concession and bordering the world-renowned Maasai Mara National Reserve, the lodge is ideally located to enjoy all the area has to offer.

Scenic game drives, bush walks, cultural village visits and bird watching await guests as well as the unique opportunity to partake in Saruni Mara’s Warriors Academy. Here, guests spend time with real Maasai and Samburu warriors and learn invaluable bush skills, tracking abilities, beading and creation of Maasai sculptures as well as many other traditional skills.

Several secluded and individually-themed cottages, from The Love Shack to The Observatory, are dotted around the property; each with its own private verandah promising spectacular views of the valley. For a small group or a family expedition, the Family Villa is ideal. A five-minute drive from Saruni Mara is Nyati House, an exclusive wilderness home perfect for groups in search of privacy and a Mara safari on their own schedule. Fully-equipped with a private safari vehicle and guide, this beautiful villa provides a unique and personal experience.
