Saruni Mara Camp
Saruni Wild
Masai Mara-Kenya
Saruni Mara is a deluxe, intimate lodge set in a private conservation area outside the Masai Mara National
Reserve offering the thrill of a real African adventure coupled with the highest standards of style and comfort. With accommodation
for only 12 guests in six cottages, it is set in a remote valley at the heart of the most exciting wilderness in Kenya. Safaris
at Saruni Mara is a thriving adventure, driving or walking among elephants, lions, zebras and endless other species of wild
animals, accompanied in total safety by professional guides in the magic of old Africa.
Established in 2003 by a group of friends who shared their
passion for Africa (Riccardo Orizio, Pia-Sophie Wool, Paolo Barberis Canonico and Davide Barberis Canonico), Saruni Mara Camp
accomodates 12 guests at the main lodge and six at nearby tented camp, Saruni Wild. Set in a remote
valley at the heart of the most exciting wilderness of Kenya, Saruni Mara Camp offers a new concept of African safari: a real
adventure lived in harmony with the Maasai warriors coupled with high standards of style and comfort.
Saruni Kuro House is the common dining area and is a mixture of old-fashioned Africa and modern design.
Its huge fireplace is the focal point of life at Saruni and it is here that our guests exchange memories of the day's
safaris. While reminiscing they can start to savour the exceptional cuisine that is served around our long table and uses
fresh, locally grown and organic produce in inventive ways. Alternatively meals can be taken in the bush among the wild animals,
with birdsong and animal calls as a backdrop. By separate arrangement a candlelight dinner can be served on your own
verandah
A unique feature
of Saruni is its collection of books and its library, the most beautiful in the African bush. With thousands of rare books
and its very private location, Saruni's library is a place where to meditate, to rest, to think.
Saruni has a low impact on the environment thanks to
the use of solar power and the recycling of waste.
