Property Details

An additional two Family and Single cottages can be converted from a spacious villa for large families into two separate accommodations for two different groups of guests.
At the heart of Saruni Samburu is the main lodge, where two large infinity swimming pools overlook multiple waterholes that are frequented by a variety of wildlife, including the famous Samburu Elephant. There is also an onsite Samburu Wellbeing space where guests can indulge in massage and beauty treatments at the hands of Italian-trained specialists between safari activities. Cuisine at Saruni Samburu is Italian-inspired, but the chef makes every effort to incorporate Kenyan specialties, especially fish and local vegetables. Some of the most memorable experiences at Saruni Samburu take place over meals, whether recounting the day’s adventures over dinner, enjoying a bush dinner in one of the lodge’s “secret spots”, or quieting away for a private picnic lunch for two at the river.
