Welcome to our land
Sarara is a unique conservation & ecotourism model, driven by the indigenous Samburu people of Northern Kenya.
A hidden land of unparalleled beauty and coexistence
In the northern frontier of Kenya, in the heart of Samburu, lies Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy, an area of 850,000 acres of pristine wilderness in the Mathews Range.
This remote landscape is home to the indigenous Samburu people whose age-old traditions are as much a part of the fabric of this land as the wildlife.
Dedicated to conserve a landscape where people and wildlife flourish, side by side
Indigenous communities in Northern Kenya are the custodians of some of the largest remaining wilderness left in Africa, including many key endangered species.
The Sarara Foundation is a unique community conservation model that supports people to conserve wildlife and biodiversities.
Our three secluded lodges are tucked away in 850,000 acres of wilderness
A magnificent hideaway for anyone seeking to explore one of Kenya’s greatest wilderness areas.
With intimate knowledge of and a deep passion for the landscape and wildlife, our Samburu safari guides will make your safari experience unforgettable.
Home to one of Kenya’s largest elephant populations
An inspiring testimony to the community conservation efforts, Namunyak Conservancy is now home to the biggest herd of endangered Reticulated Giraffe, over 5,000 elephants as well as Grévy's Zebra, leopard, wild dog and kudu and more. Including an astounding number of endemic, migratory and predator birds.

How Tourism Helps Elephants—and People—Make a Home
Kenya's Sarara Camp is a model of community-driven ecotourism.
By Michaela Trimble
“In the heart of northern Kenya, the pointed peaks of the Mathews Range engulf Sarara Camp’s six canvas tents. Dispelling notions of traditional safaris, a stay here—within a dense forest thick with acacia and juniper trees, grazed by elephants, giraffes, and dik-diks—is just as much about access to wildlife and nature as it is about the indigenous Samburu culture.”
