Saruni is a new, deluxe and intimate lodge set in a remote valley at the heart of the most exciting wilderness of Kenya. Saruni offers a new concept of African safari - a real African adventure lived in harmony with the Maasai warriors coupled with high standards of style and comfort. Designed and built by Kenyan architect Mark Glen, Saruni offers a traditional safari experience combining the elegance and safety of permanent accommodation with the thrill of sleeping in close contact with nature.
Location:
Situated in a private conservation area outside the Masai Mara National Reserve.
Accommodation and facilities:
At Saruni, guests reside in six large cottages, all furnished with colonial antiques, Persian carpets and African art. Each cottage has hot and cold running water, elegant Italian bathroom fittings, polished wooden floors, and large bathrooms where the canvas front can be totally open to offer you an amazing "shower with a view". Décor is unique for each cottage and the large verandas offer a unique view of the Mara plains to view the many wild animals that come to the camp’s waterhole. Kuro House is the common dining area and is a mixture of old-fashioned Africa and modern design. Its huge fireplace is the focal point of life at Saruni and it is here that our guests savour the exceptional cuisine prepared using fresh, locally grown and organic produce in inventive ways. Alternatively meals can be taken in the bush or a candlelight dinner can be served on your own veranda.
Activities:
Safaris can be taken either on foot on the plains and in the mountains and hills that surround Saruni or in landrovers. There is extensive birding covering a variety of 500 species. You can walk with the Maasai warriors and learn about their traditions.
Special attractions:
Saruni runs the Maasai Wellbeing Space. This is a unique feature in the Masai Mara, where guests enjoy massage and wellness treatments under the supervision of highly trained staff. It is located in a private cottage hidden in the valley’s olive and cedar forest and devoted to the use of local plants for beauty and relaxation treatments. Another unique feature of Saruni is its collection of books and its library.
