About the hotel
Saruni Samburu lies within the breathtaking Kalama Conservancy in northern Kenya and offers six exclusive villas with contemporary interiors and incomparable views across the savannah all the way to Mount Kenya. Each villa is beautifully styled with a blend of modern comfort and traditional African aesthetics, featuring two en suite bedrooms, dressing rooms, a spacious shared living and dining area, and several verandas from which to admire the star-filled skies, sunrise and sunset. The lodge is especially known for its sustainable construction and harmonious integration into the natural surroundings. Two infinity pools and a spa area are also perfectly woven into the landscape, offering deep relaxation.
Kids & Teens
Children and family safaris are given special attention at Saruni Samburu. Particularly noteworthy is the "Warriors Academy", a specially created programme where young guests learn from Samburu warriors, discovering traditional survival skills and a deeper understanding of nature. Families can also share guided bush walks, cultural visits and wildlife encounters together. Babysitting services and personalised activities are also available to suit the needs of every family.
Experiences & Activities
The list of possible experiences at Saruni Samburu is a long one, ranging from classic game drives and cultural encounters in local villages and communities to scorpion and torch-lit safaris by night. Your whole family will be amazed by just how varied and extraordinary Samburu is. You can also take an excursion to the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, throw seed balls, hide away in a waterhole hide and capture wonderful photographs. After a day rich in new impressions, treat yourself to a revitalising spa treatment and dine in the restaurant, where Italian-inspired dishes are served.

Saruni Samburu
in our eyes
For us, Saruni Samburu is far more than a lodge — it is an unforgettable experience in the heart of northern Kenya. The luxurious villas, the dramatic views and the encounters with Samburu warriors create a deep connection to the landscape. Those seeking luxury with genuine cultural depth will find their paradise here. Simply unique — and deeply sustainable too.
Best time to travel
The best time to visit Samburu National Reserve in Kenya is from July to October. During this dry season, animals gather around the reMayning water sources, significantly increasing the chances of extraordinary wildlife sightings. This is also the ideal time to spot the “Samburu Special Five” – Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk and beisa oryx.
Temperatures are pleasantly warm, and the clear air offers excellent visibility, making these months perfect for photographers and nature lovers alike.
