Situated in a picturesque forest at the border of the Lemek and Mara North private conservancies, this Hemingway-style tented camp is a tranquil bush retreat ideal for those yearning to reconnect with nature. The combination of just three tents, exclusive-use 4x4 access, and expert Maasai guides makes for a truly memorable African safari.

The area has a thriving resident population of elephant, giraffe, buffalo as well as leopard and classic Masai Mara plains game. Game viewing in the Mara North and Lemek Conservancies rivals that of Masai Mara National Park with the bonus that you are unlikely to see any other vehicles, and night drives are permitted which could lead to encounters with elusive species such as genet and white-tailed mongoose.

Track animals and learn specialized bush skills passed down from generations of Maasai warriors. Walking safaris individually tailored to your interests and fitness level take you through the forests, springs, and mountains of this pristine wilderness.

Located in a peaceful valley in a conservancy, Saruni Wild offers a classic and exclusive safari experience. Some highlights are the guided bush walks with the Masai and night game drives. Dinners enjoyed under the African night sky are delicious and then some relaxation at the campfire to absorb the day's wildlife sightings – this is how a safari should be!

Rooms

Double Tent

Two elegant double tents each sleep two people and feature en suite bathrooms with flush toilets, hot water, and large safari showers. They are adjoined by spacious verandahs. An extra single bed can be added to each tent to accommodate one child under 16.

Family Tent

Saruni Wild’s luxury family tent accommodates up to 4 adults or a couple with children in 1 x super king-size bed and 2 x single beds, in an area that can be separated and zipped down for privacy in between. The two en-suite bedrooms are comfortably and stylishly furnished with big beds, hot water showers, flushing loos, and an outdoor verandah with side tables and chairs.

Facilities

The emphasis at Saruni Wild is on top-class game viewing, bird watching, star gazing, and relaxing around the camp, taking you back to the days when you could truly ‘switch off’ from modern life. A laundry service ensures that you always look your best. Guests at Saruni Wild have access to the Wellbeing Space at the main lodge, Saruni Mara, which is a short drive away.

Dining

The restaurant serves up cuisine inspired by Italy and a cozy campfire takes the chill out of winter evenings. Dine together as a group or enjoy a private candlelit dinner on the verandah of your tent.
