Saruni Camp Hotel is the deluxe, intimate lodge set in a private conservation area outside the Masai Mara National Reserve, the most famous game park in Africa. Saruni Camp was established in 2003 by a group of friends who shared their passion for Africa (Riccardo Orizio, Pia-Sophie Wool, Paolo Barberis Canonico and Davide Barberis Canonico) Situated in a remote valley on a hill side at an altitude of 2000 meters above sea level, It is highly recommended for a 2 night safari stay to fully explore the conservation area and as a base to explore the Maasai Mara National Park with the highest standards of style and comfort.
Go on safari, driving or walking among elephants, lions, zebras and endless other species of wild animals, accompanied in total safety by the professional guides in the magic of old Africa. The Masai Mara ecosystem has an astounding variety of wildlife. It boasts amazing birdlife with over 550 species and its herds of plains game are second to none. The forests and the plains also provide a fascinating variety of plants, trees and flowers.

Of course the Saruni hotel offers all the expected facilities we expect from a high class hotels accommodation in Masai Mara, but the Saruni Lodge is something special. Besides a library it also offers the only Wellbeing space in the Mara area. In collaboration with the Grand Hotel des Iles Borromees (Stresa, Italy) the Saruni offers massage and wellness treatments under the supervision of highly trained staff. It's a private cottage hidden in the surrounding valley's olive and cedar forest and devoted to the use of local plants for beauty and relaxation treatments. Saruni Camp was designed and built by Kenyan architect Mark Glen; Saruni has six large cottages, where one can experience both the elegance and safety of a permanent accommodation with the thrill of sleeping in close contact with nature. The rooms are furnished with colonial antiques, Persian carpets and African art. The atmosphere at the camp is informal but elegant. Each cottage has hot and cold running water, 220 volt electricity, 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 from the large verandahs one enjoys a unique view of the Mara plains and can watch the many wild animals that come to our waterhole. Your safari actually starts on our massive cedar beds, from where you can see in total privacy elephant, leopard, waterbuck, bushbuck and impala traversing freely and peacefully in the grounds of the camp
The cottages are furnished with colonial antiques, Persian carpets and African art with a décor unique to each cottage.

Saruni Camp Hotel Restaurant
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 exchange memories of the day's safaris. While reminiscing they can start to savour the exceptional cuisine that is served around our long table and uses fresh, locally grown and organic produce in inventive ways. Alternatively meals can be taken in the bush among the wild animals, with birdsong and animal calls as a backdrop. By separate arrangement a candlelight dinner can be served on your own verandah.
The cuisine has a strong Italian flavor but the chefs also love to experiment with the great ingredients that are found in Kenya, especially fish and vegetables. Saruni can easily accommodate vegetarians and guests who have special requests.
Saruni Camp Hotel Activities
