Camps & Lodges

Saruni Basecamp's portfolio encompasses 13 distinctive camps and lodges nestled within Kenya's premier community conservancies in the Maasai Mara and Samburu regions. Each property exemplifies our pioneering approach to ethical safari tourism, offering intimate, life-affirming experiences that place guests at the heart of Africa's most spectacular wildlife encounters while supporting local community conservation initiatives. Our carefully chosen locations combine exclusive wilderness settings with authentic cultural connections, creating transformative journeys that go beyond the traditional safari experience.

Discover Kenya

Kenya, the land where the modern safari was born, has all the ingredients that make it right: very abundant wildlife, inspiring and diverse landscapes, the cultures of communities like the Maasai and the Samburu still proud of their heritage. And the well-oiled wheels of a tourist industry that has tradition and a long record of customer-service.

Experiences

At Saruni Basecamp we believe that a great safari experience is made of many elements: the majestic African wildlife in its stunning landscapes, but also the culture and traditions of the Maasai and Samburu.

About Us

Conservation of land and wildlife, partnership with the local communities to ensure they benefit from it, safari tourism as a tool for protecting the web of life in Kenya and in Africa, changing the life of our guests making them actors of change, not only witnesses.

Impact

Saruni Basecamp is a company that believes in “impact investments”: they are investments made to generate positive and measurable changes on both the social and environmental habitats, alongside a financial return.
