Welcome to Saruni Basecamp, a portfolio of pioneering, innovative and ethical safari lodges and camps rooted in community-based conservation and tourism.

A Safari and Beyond

“Saruni Samburu exceeded all expectations with its incredibly open and friendly staff, always eager to make accommodations that catered to our unique needs. The Safari guides were not only highly knowledgeable but also passionate about sharing insightful details about the rich Samburu culture.”

Saruni Samburu

A Superior Safari

“An outstanding, luxury lodge in a conservancy adjacent to Masai Mara. The game viewing is outstanding. And because the lodge is in the conservancy, it is not overrun with too many vehicles.”

Saruni Wild, Samburu and Mara North

“Africa is a vast wonder. The Saruni group, however, turns it into a personal, magical experience. Everywhere we went, from Samburu to Mara North to Saruni Wild, we were greeted with the variety and comfort of the places themselves”.

Fabulous wildlife and lovely people

“The team at Eagle View helped make this a truly memorable experience. The setting on a hill overlooking the plain is fantastic and there was a constant stream of animals coming down to the waterhole. We had specifically chosen to stay within a conservancy and we were delighted to learn that this really does result in tangible benefits going back to the local Maasai community”

Awesome stay!

“We had the entire 3-bedroom house to relax in, including a living room area with a fireplace where we enjoyed evening drinks after our day’s activities. Our Maasai Safari guide, Senior, was part of the staff, and super informative. The Basecamp Mara houses are amazing!”
