Sarara Luxury Tented Camp is a community owned property located off the beaten track, in the foothills of the Mathews Range just north of Samburu Game Reserve. Sarara Camp sits within the 75,000 hectares Namunyak Community Group Ranch and now boasts a wide variety of wildlife such as elephant, buffalo, kudu, forest hog and even lion and leopard.
Mathews Range is a stunning range of hills & mountains to the north of Laikipia at the base of Kenya's Northern Frontier District. The Matthews rise to over 2300 meters with a network of valleys and ridges, thick with stands of cedar, many topped off with dramatic craggy peaks. The whole area lies in sharp contrast to the dry bush country all around it. Numerous springs rise in these hills, providing precious water for people and wildlife of this area. Only two small camps lie within this vast area, Kitich, nestled in amongst the lush vegetation along the banks of the Ngeng River and Sarara just north of Ol Lolokwe in the community wilderness area of Namunyak.
Sarara Luxury Tented Camp is a very special place situated on Namunyak Wildlife Conservation Trust land which is owned by the local community which numbers about 12,000 Samburu people. It is mostly dry plains, but the Sarara River flows through, and is flanked by the Mathews Ranges, giving it a truly stunning setting and a good range of habitat. This varied landscape means that there is good wildlife to be spotted here, mostly either browsers or predators, including thousands of elephants, dik-dik, impala, lesser and greater kudu, gerenuk, giraffe, hyena, buffalo, civets, servals, cheetah, leopard and wild dog. The area around Sarara Camp is also good birding country.
