Saruni Mara detail

Saruni Mara is located in a private conservancy bordering the Masai Mara National Reserve and is an ideal base from which to witness the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra through the region. Based on a close partnership with the local community and built in a hidden valley to exacting environmental standards, Saruni Mara is far removed from everyday life and designed to blend in with its dramatic surroundings.

This intimate lodge offers many opportunities to view African animals up close and is perfect for romantic or adventurous honeymooners. Get up early in the mornings to go on guided game drives to exclusive, sole-use areas or join Maasai warriors on escorted bush walks and explore the nearby hills on foot. At the end of the day, relax in the Maasai Wellbeing Space, a private treatment spa hidden in the valley's olive tree and cedar forest.

Rooms

Private Villa

The private villa named Nyati House is a beautiful and private wilderness home. It features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a lounge and dining room as well as a kitchen and a large veranda. It’s the ideal safari home away from home and is booked on an exclusive-use basis. It’s perfect for traveling families or friends who want to experience the Masai Mara on their schedule.

The Artist Studio

The Artist’s Studio is an elegant sanctuary for the creative soul, and the perfect place to find inspiration. With a stylishly decorated en suite bedroom, leading out onto the open veranda, this cottage boasts beautiful views over the secluded valley and out onto the Mara plains in the distance.

Family Villa

Saruni Mara also has a family villa consisting of two en suite bedrooms, a large lounge, a dining area, and a veranda that overlooks the Masai Mara.

Facilities

Situated in a private cottage in the valley's olive and cedar forest, the Maasai Wellbeing Space is a well-appointed spa offering a combination of Western and local Maasai treatments. The Saruni Library, with its private collection of rare African books, offers a perfect setting to read, think and reminisce.

Dining

Dining the African way is part of the Saruni experience: meals contain locally produced, organic products and the lodge chefs are always creating new and delicious combinations.

The Kuro House is the local meeting place where guests can share the day's stories and experiences after drinks around the fireplace.

Here, at a long dining table, a special dinner is served every evening but for a dining experience that is closer to the wild, you can enjoy an àl fresco bush dinner at a quiet spot under the stars while romantics will appreciate the opportunity to have a candlelit meal for two on a private veranda.
