The Pioneering Spirit of Sarara

Sarara Camp holds a noteworthy position in Kenya’s Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy, a pioneering establishment predating Sarara Tree and Reteti Private House, the latter alternatives within the same conservancy. The camp’s evolution from a mobile establishment to a permanent structure symbolizes its instrumental role in the conservancy’s prominence. Its history interweaves with the landscape, offering a storied retreat that has matured with its environment, a physical growth paralleling the conservation efforts it champions.

The conservancy itself, community-owned, stands as an exemplar of sustainable tourism in Kenya. For guests, this translates into a profound connection with the land and its stewards—the Samburu people. The benefits that accrue to the community from the conservancy ensure a visit to Sarara Camp contributes meaningfully to local livelihoods and wildlife protection, fostering an intimate guest experience deeply rooted in mutual benefit and respect.

Visitors to Sarara have the unique opportunity to visit the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, a short walk from the camp. Reteti is a haven for rescued and orphaned elephants, and guests can observe caretaking practices and learn about conservation efforts firsthand, granting an enriching glimpse into the complexities of wildlife rehabilitation.

In a significant shift in conservation dynamics, in 2022 Sarara disengaged from the Northern Rangelands Trust, embarking on an independent path. This change carries potential ramifications for conservation strategies within the region and underscores Sarara’s role as a forerunner in autonomous conservation efforts.

Guest Rooms

The accommodation at Sarara Camp comprises six expansive tented chalets, where the focus is on integration with the environment without compromising on comfort. The chalets are canvas constructs with walls predominantly made of mosquito netting, ensuring a close connection with the wilderness. The interiors are adorned with rugs and furnished with armchairs, cultivating a refined atmosphere. Behind the beds, a partial wall leads to an indoor bathroom, equipped with plush bathrobes, a stylish washbasin, a mirror, and a modern flush toilet. For an al fresco experience, guests can venture along a short walkway to an outdoor shower and toilet, some offering views of the local waterhole. The chalets benefit from a continuous supply of hot water, courtesy of solar energy.
