Saruni Rhino is beautiful, fascinating & extremely thoughtfully shared.
What a beautiful place. The safari experience is way, way more than the game drives and spotting the region’s unique wildlife, it’s also about the warm, welcoming, wise and traditional Samburu people.
The team at Saruni Rhino couldn’t have been more kind and attentive and the banda accommodation is exquisite. A huge thank you to the team for making our stay so magical.
If you haven’t been to this part of Kenya, come. It is untouched, steeped in its conservation intent and a diversely beautiful landscape.

A piece of Kenyan heaven
An absolutely mesmerising and wonderful experience. We were welcomed and treated so warmly, sensitively and inclusively. The beautiful Samburu people share this place with a deep love and respect for the wildlife, their culture and in a way that leaves you thinking differently about the world and your place in it.
The camp is exquisite. Simply, ethically and ecologically sensitive, and immensely comfortable. The food was beautiful and the service warm and generous. The safari guides are something very special. Extremely knowledgeable and they love their work, and the birds, animals and flora so much that they are as excited as their guests who may be seeing these amazing things for the first time.
We will most definitely be back.

A spectacular place!
Our 30th wedding anniversary.. what a fabulous way and place to celebrate! Our second visit to Saruni Samburu, the last being 6 years ago, when it made a significant impression. Sumaro was an exceptional guide who led us to see the most amazing collection of animals and special moments when the animals found us! The elephants crossing the river was magic, with the mothers easing the babies up the bank with their trunks. This place seems to seep into your soul. Our bush dinner was an evening to remember. The staff quickly become your friends who love to share a laugh. Great to see Nicole and Benson again. Thanks to all for spoiling us!
