Perched on the top of the Kalama mountains with an all-round view of Northen Kenya all the way to snow-covered Mount Kenya, Saruni Samburu is a designer lodge that is introducing a fresh concept to a well-known safari destination. Built on the pristine land owned by the Kalama Wildlife Conservancy in 240,000 acres-large Gir Gir Group Ranch, it is only seven kilometers - and 20 minutes of exciting game drive - away from the Northern border of Samburu National Reserve, a celebrated elephant sanctuary. The lodge offers first-class safari experience in a totally un-spoilt environment, far from the beaten tracks but very close to the wildlife. There are four houses (two of them are large family villas with two separate bedrooms each and two spectacular bahrooms), a large swimming pool with dramatic view over Samburuland, a waterhole that attract elephant, reticulated giraffe, zebra, oryx and all the species that make Kalama so special. Saruni Samburu has its own private airstrip near the Kalama Wildlife Conservancy headquarters, but it is also easily served by schedule airlines that land at nearby Buffalo Springs airstrip. Game drive are in Samburu National Reserve and Buffalo Springs National Reserve, but many acivities take place in Kalama, a well-kept secret of Kenya's North. The recent introducion of water means that Kalama is becoming an important attraction to all the Samburu wildlife. Our activities include night and morning game drives in Kalama Conservancy, visits to the caves where in the past the Samburu have painted and carved rock art, professionally-led game walks, bush dinners and star gazing. The traditions and semi-nomadic heritage of the local Samburu people are an important part of the experience. | Style | Designer Lodge | | Air/Con | Yes | | Dining | Yes | | Children | Yes | | No. of Bedrooms | 4 | | Pool | Yes | | Activities | Game drives, bush walks, cultural visits, Spa treatments, | | Price Range | from £325.00 per person per night |
