Saruni Mara Camp

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 Mara camp was designed and built by Kenyan architect Mark Glen, it has six large cottages, where o­ne can experience both the elegance and safety of a permanent accommodation with the thrill of sleeping in close contact with nature. The rooms are furnished with colonial antiques, Persian carpets and African art. The atmosphere at the camp is informal but elegant. Each cottage has hot and cold running water, 220 volt electricity, elegant Italian bathroom fittings, polished wooden floors, and large bathrooms where the canvas front can be totally open to offer you an amazing "shower with a view". Décor is unique for each cottage and from the large verandahs o­ne enjoys a unique view of the Mara plains and can watch the many wild animals that come to our waterhole. Your safari actually starts o­n our massive cedar beds, from where you can see in total privacy elephant, leopard, waterbuck, bushbuck and impala traversing freely and peacefully in the grounds of the camp.

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.

Alfajiri-Saruni Beach Extension
The best safaris end at the beach, on white coral sand fringed by palm trees with the incredible blue-aquamarine-turquoise of the Indian Ocean right in front of you. And from  Saruni Mara our recommended choice of beach extension is at  Diani, the beach South of Mombasa that is very easily reached by daily flights from the Maasai Mara and from Nairobi. And in Diani we like to suggest a place that is arguably the most beautiful private villa in East Africa: Alfajiri owned by Italians gifted with impeccable taste and sense of what true luxury is, Marika and Fabrizio Molinaro’s dream villas are superb in every aspect you need not try elsewhere……
