Guest Feedback on Saruni Samburu Lodge

Amanda from Chicago, USA

Saruni Samburu was an oasis in the desert! From the moment we landed, the staff was incredibly welcoming, ensuring every detail was perfect throughout our stay. The villas are stunning, providing privacy and magnificent views. Highlight of our trip was the guided safari drives where we got to see a rare leopard sighting up close! The commitment of Saruni Samburu to sustainability also made our stay feel even more special knowing we were supporting conservation efforts.”

David from London, UK

An experience beyond expectations. Saruni Samburu is not just a place to stay, it’s a gateway to Kenyan culture and wildlife. The meals were a delightful showcase of local cuisine with international standards. The cultural visits to Samburu villages provided an authentic peek into the local traditions. What impressed us the most was the blend of luxury and ecological sensitivity integrated into every aspect of the lodge. Absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a meaningful and luxury safari.”
