Saruni Samburu Hotel Rift Valley

With incredible 360° views from every vista, there simply is no other lodge like Saruni Samburu in Kenya. Far off the beaten track but very close to the action and wildlife, this unique experience shows you the other side of Kenya: you have incredible interaction with local Samburu guides and lodge staff immersed in their culture, history and traditions.Perched on top of the Kalama Mountains in northern Kenya, with a view reaching all the way to snow-covered Mount Kenya, Saruni Samburu is an eco-design lodge that brings a fresh concept to a well-known safari destination. Situated on 200,000 acres of pristine land owned by the Kalama Wildlife Conservancy, it is only seven kilometres (four miles) from the Samburu National Reserve, a celebrated elephant sanctuary and wildlife experience.The lodge offers a first-class safari and offers the ‘wow' factor from beginning to end. It features six suites, two large swimming pools with dramatic views over Samburuland, and a waterhole that attracts elephants, reticulated giraffes, zebras, lion, wild dog, Beisa oryx and all the other endemic species that make Kalama so special. For downtime, there is a great spa, the ‘Samburu Wellbeing Space’. Staying here is humbling, truly special and a fully interactive cultural experience.
